Computer Privacy in Distress
http://www.wired.com/news/columns/0,72510-0.html
By Jennifer Granick
My laptop computer was purchased by Stanford, but my whole life is
stored on it. I have e-mail dating back several years, my address book
with the names of everyone I know, notes and musings for various work
and personal projects, financial records, passwords to my blog, my web
mail, project and information management data for various organizations
I belong to, photos of my niece and nephew and my pets.
In short, my computer is my most private possession. I have other things
that are more dear, but no one item could tell you more about me than
this machine.
Yet, a rash of recent court decisions says the Constitution may not be
enough to protect my laptop from arbitrary, suspicionless and
warrantless examination by the police.
At issue is the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from
unreasonable searches and seizures by government agents. As a primary
safeguard against arbitrary and capricious searches, property seizures
and arrests, the founding fathers required the government to first seek
a warrant from a judge or magistrate.

NOVA: "Arctic Passage: Ice Survivor"
http://www.pbs.org/nova/arctic
January 23, 2007 at 8 p.m. ET/PT
The greatest geographical prize of its day was the search for the
fabled Northwest Passage through the island maze of Arctic Canada. In
1845, Great Britain mounted an all-out assault with a lavishly
equipped expedition that was never heard from again. Then in the
early 1900s, a little-known Norwegian adventurer set forth in a
secondhand fishing boat and succeeded beyond all expectation. This
two-hour special answers the riddle of why Sir John Franklin's
mission failed and Roald Amundsen's made it.
