26. Granted the simplicity would depend a lot on what the ISP's were willing to give them

What format they made it available, and the programmers experience level with handling such data, but my point is ... it's not very high level stuff and one person could code it pretty quickly. It wouldn't take that much in the way of resources.

The NSA almost certainly has already done this, cause they don't need ISP help, they're tapped into the main trunks ... but they wouldn't admit to having done this, and probably wouldn't share their list of DU'ers with other agencies barring their algorithms picking up on some legit emergency. At least ... for now.

But ... if someone on here were to start making legit-sounding threats against government officials, I'd bet they'd have a visit from Agent Mike pretty damn fast.

And I think it'd fast ... because they already logged 'who we all are' IRL.
