To me the most disturbing part of the in camera proceedings was when Levinson asked for the ability to enlist public support and the US Attorney objected--not because it threatened the investigation, but because they didn't want Levinson getting any help. Ultimately Levinson did get help and the case attracted wide attention, but not everyone is so lucky. From a legal perspective I find all the technical "under the hood" arguments fascinating--but the courts don't care. They may care twenty years from now, but they don't care now. The judge has lived with computers since the 1980's and he's talking about phone numbers. Lord have mercy.
