Yeah I remember that post. One thing I didn't ask that I meant to. Does anyone know what kind of implications this would have if a warrant is granted for a machine that turns out to reside outside of the USA?

Extreme over the top example scenaria: An employee of a foreign government installs Tor on their work machine, does some things meriting an FBI warrant under this decision. The FBI finds a way to access this machine, and in the process accidentally discovers classified information belonging to the foreign government and that government finds the data breach came from the FBI.

I may be mistaking, but the decision sounds like an awful lot of trouble preparing to happen with regards to foreign relations.




IANAL, but I would think that if you are hiding your identity you lose any rights that come with that.
