Reasonable expectation of privacy
David Fraser picked up on the discussion on the 
ISP Privacy Pledge discusion that I wrote about last week.
In a world connected by public internetworking, what is a reasonable expectation of privacy? This is is not an easy question to answer. Are average users taking the steps to protect their privacy? Do average users know the kind of personal information that is being dropped along the way as they surf the net?
There is a need to inform users of their service provider's policy, whatever it may be, as I suggested in my comments on Michael Geist's defense of the pledge and as CIPPIC Executive Director Pippa Lawson agreed in her response.
How do we balance individual privacy rights with the real need to modernize investigative tools for law enforcement? How do we make sure that users' reasonable expectations of privacy are in fact reasonable?

Hi Mark,
You ask: "How do we balance individual privacy rights with the real need to modernize investigative tools for law enforcement? How do we make sure that users' reasonable expectations of privacy are in fact reasonable?"
What needs are not being met with existing law enforcement tools, AND what laws would have to change in order to meet those needs.
Thanks, A
