Hi Dave;

Just a couple of comments -

First, the probable reason for a lack of real world consequences to
Sheehan's site was that it was likely an unknown entity (At least to those
who might want to abuse the data) until the NY Times article. I think that
may have just changed.

Second, the following quote:

"If he wants to drop by the house," Lieutenant Caldwell said, "the police
officers would be more than happy to welcome him. We're all armed and
trained."

Definitely gives one pause regarding police force attitudes.



Regards;
