American doctors have not been enemies of the digital revolution. Looking up lab results and x-rays on our computer screens beat out carbon copies and sheet film in an instant. We like e-mail; we shop, take tests and read our journals on line. But the romance, for most of us, began to sour with Computerized Physician Order Entry [CPOE]: entering patients' hospital orders on the computer. This is when we first confronted the downside to uploading our every medical judgment...
...this the dark side of the parental imagination? Yes. But a study released last December found that one in five teens had sent or posted a naked picture of themselves, and a third had received such a picture or video by text message or e-mail. One school principal suspects that a random ransacking of the phones in his school would find indecent pictures on half to two-thirds of them. Three out of four teens say posting suggestive stuff "can have serious negative consequences," which means they know it's dumb--and they do it anyway...

...only question now is, How do we codify the collection of chatter? The NSA already has the legal authority to listen to chatter overseas - communications among foreigners. But what do you do when an American pops up calling a suspect telephone number or trying to e-mail al-Qaeda to volunteer his services? How long can the NSA sit on a line, figuring out whether it is of real interest, before applying for a warrant? I'll leave that one up to the constitutional lawyers, but I'll be eagerly listening for their answer...
