Drugs and the Internet
An Overview of the Threat to America's Youth

[Blunderov]
The marvellous memes are unstoppable little critters aren't they? The
information provided in the section \The location of the threat\ about how
to avoid being identified was particularly infectious.

If the user is using an \internet appliance\ instead of a PC to access the
internet, there will be no legacy data (files or fragments of files created
by the computer while processing any kind of information) at the insertion
point because an internet appliance lacks a hard drive.

If the end user were using a stationary internet appliance, there would be
no legacy data in the users data to search forensically. Also if the user
were accessing the internet through a mobile device especially one attached
to a cellular modem, locating the end user would be extremely difficult
requiring very specific information developed through case work and the uses
of advanced technology.

<Blunderov here gazes with wild surmise upon his newly acquired WAP enabled
Ericsson R380s cellular phone and recalls that the manual mentions a
capacity to act as a modem>

Down with the thought-police.
