"Eisenhower Revisited" (Daniel E. Geer, Jr.)
http://j.mp/qfUSfG (IEEE [PDF])
"Some of it is laughable, such as a Congressional proposal to "Do Not
Track," which, as a matter of logic, can't work without strong
authentication, setting the stage for some new bureaucrat to declare
"We had to destroy anonymity in order to save it."
...
Some of it toys with addressability itself, as if a predictable,
coherent name structure were just another currency. (That one is no
prediction, ICANN having now devolved into nothing but a protection
racket.) Some of it reverses the idea of innocence until guilt is
proven, which is precisely what the mandated retention of data tries
to do-prove a negative, something science has told us can't be done
absent perfect knowledge."
