Worst of all, last week's debacle is just the first high-pitched meow we've heard. The FBI threatens to take legal action against Harvard computer users if it obtains evidence that they had imported obscene materials. This evidence still exists, and is available to so-called "superusers" of the network. It is the public log file, which Harvard created and is keeping.
