DOJ: Electronic Communications Privacy Act's 180-Day Stored Email Rule
Not 'Principled'
http://j.mp/15YyIMm (Huffington)
A top Justice Department official said Tuesday there is "no
principled basis" to treat email less than 180 days old differently
than email more than 180 days old, putting the government's support
behind updating an outdated aspect of the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act (ECPA).

Just be aware of how government tends to give with one hand and take
away with the other in such situations. Watch carefully for what
sorts of access are suggested as the alternative to the current dismal
status quo.
