If a person is sending email to those suspected of contributing to terror groups then our government needs to be able to study those emails. That does not imply that the government has either the intention or the man power to be studying every trivial bit of email that we send or receive.
1. "Terrorism" is a very loosely defined word in the US these days. 2. "The government" might not have the intention or manpower to snoop on Jane Harmless, but the disgruntled ex-husband in the local sheriff's department might. Especially if there is a handy fully automated subpoena tool available for all kinds of "law enforcement".
Terrorism = Government = Corporate America

Comment Using Lasers to Clean Space Junk (Score 0) 267
I donâ(TM)t see the logic of blasting space junk with lasers unless it completely vaporizes the junk. If the junk is broken into smaller pieces (with less mass) the chances of it staying in orbit increases.
What is needed is to clump this material into a great mass unit so it will fall back to earth and incinerate in the atmosphere.
