Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee voted 19-10 for H.R. 1981, a data-retention bill that will require your ISP to spy on everything you do online and save records of it for 12 months. California Rep Zoe Lofgren, one of the Democrats who opposed the bill, called it a “data bank of every digital act by every American” that would “let us find out where every single American visited Web sites.” I think I'd prefer law enforcement agencies get a warrant before snooping through my browsing history
Many successful BST transactions ajia

is logged into your ISP's data base forever, and can be retrieved without your knowledge. Same goes for every text you make n receive, as well as calls to n from. Doesn't even matter if you perform a gov't standard hexadecimal wipe of your HD. Your ISP has all your browsing history, complete with times, dates and IP addresses.
EDIT: Even if you manually delete through the registry in the "TypedURLS" folder, your history is
still recorded with your ISP. As of September 11, 2001, you have no privacy.
Pen registers and trap n trace devices track detailed information about Internet use. Telephone pen/trap orders, as they are known, permit the government to obtain a list of telephone numbers for incoming or outgoing calls with a court order not based on probable cause. However, Internet addressing information reveals much more detail, such as the specific web pages viewed or search terms entered into a search engine. When Congress expanded the government's power to get pen/trap orders for Internet communications in the Patriot Act, however, these differences between telephone and Internet communications were ignored. Congress failed to specify rules to ensure that the privacy of ordinary Americans web surfing and e-mail habits were protected.
and the snoopers never get past that road block! I'm safe. At any moment during the
business day 30% of business computers are logged onto a porn site.
They don't have time to track me!!

I can hear the FMP music...bow, bow, chiga, bow, bow....
There's probably a 5% chance everything online you do isn't tracked. I think that's generous too.

I assume that everything can be retrieved, and am fully cognizant of this fact.
The thing that is of concern is that some political hack will be given access to the information on perceived political enemies and proactively exploit it for their own purposes. Information of a personal nature has a habit of being leaked in election years.
A 21st century version of the fascist practice of having other citizens spy on their neighbors.
