Re: House vote on illegal images sweeps in Wi-Fi, Web sites
Another one of those "entertaining lack of understanding of technology". 99.9999999% of all wireless access points have no clear ability to monitor traffic or otherwise examine what images a person would be accessing while connected to the access point. Very few companies actively cache and retain your entire surfing habit, and in fact it would likely compromise security or retain things like usernames and passwords, making the environment risky to use. It would potentially even make personal information available or stored on some cache system without permission (cue the long ass privacy policy that nobody would ever see).
Judging by the way the house passed this, it would be a "we are doing something about CP" type legislation for all of the members to crow about at the next election.
