Now just imagine if the Bush administration were proposing to remotely search any hard drive anywhere in the world - with "appropriate privacy controls" as the thought-crime searchers in Europe are just casually announcing.

Good point, sounds like Fortress Europe is underway. Hitler would be proud. We may end up having to rescue Europe from its fascist tendencies once again.
