Though the EFF is right to sound the alarm about privacy issues in connection with government attempts to monitor traffic, their own news stories show how much the government relies on ISPs and web site owners for logged information. I am firmly of the opinion that, given sufficient advance notice, government agents could monitor specific traffic nearly anywhere they want (beyond the peering points where they already attach). They're not backing up the Internet every hour, though, and can't go back in archives to see who visited every site.
