[Advisors] Lawful access bill ... push back

[Marita Moll]

It's going to be tough to get any changes now that the legislation 
has been tabled.  But it's going to be impossible if there is no 
general push back.  Push back  measures to date (privacy 
commissioners open letter, openmedia petition, etc) did result in 
some improvements, particularly in the much reduced list of types of 
information that would be available without a warrant.  Items dropped 
are: mobile identification number, electronic serial number, 
international mobile equipment identity number, international mobile 
subscriber identity number and subscriber identity module card 
number.  That's significant!

I will be giving a session on this legislation at the BC summit -- 
3:30 Thursday Feb. 23.  If you are going to the summit, hope you'll 
attend the session.
