Somebody mentioned to me the other day that they thought the Dutch
government didn't allow an ISP to take internet traffic from a Dutch
citizen and egress in another country because it makes it easy for the
local country to snoop.

That's funny.  I've always thought of the internet as a global, borderless entity where ideas and information are 
shared without restraint.  Perhaps it's time to whap the gov't with a clue bat?
