With all the data coming in how are they going to keep up with it? |

| That's just it. The data won't be "coming in" to the government until they request specific items. It will be up to the ISP (or search engine, or whatever) to keep and catalog all the data for the relevant time period.
Users will end up paying for it indirectly, just as hotel guests effectively cover the cost of required record keeping by hotels. (And, to tie in the SOX debate, investors in stock pay for the new required corporate record keeping under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.)

it probaly be more like how the credit co's fraud departments look for patters of fraud. they will use software that will "sniff" for certan "criteria" and once found, flag it for later following up. |

| Again, the government won't "have" the data to do this. They'd have to require the ISPs, search engines, etc., to do it for them, and the proposed legislation does not provide for this.
I don't demean at all the argument over whether retention of this data is a worthwhile requirement or not. But let's keep it focused on what the proposal is--unless you're saying that "the next step will be X." There's a big difference between requiring private companies to retain records and requiring them to give it all to the government without specific probable cause.
