Seems to me after reading up on this, that they are already monitoring communications and know what is in the target PCs. What the Bill does is make it possible and legal to produce the evidence acquired from monitoring in court. As ever, the argument is that the innocent have nothing to fear. BUT as I said in my post above, somebody broke into my PC and put their own locked file onto one of my partitions. No doubt it was traffic monitoring that attracted the FBI, hence their "trojan" placed in my system. Now that I've deleted it and gone behind a firewall, they are probably even more interested! The more you learn the scarier it gets
