“Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986, government officials only need a subpoena, issued without a judge's approval, to read emails that have been opened or that are more than 180 days old.”

So delete your read emails and don't let emails pile up for 180 days.

Seriously thou Everyone here should know that their emails are flying across the web Unencrypted. Whether or not the Government allows itself to read those emails is somewhat academic. One solution is to uses something like this: http://www.symantec.com/desktop-email-encryption

I wonder if the whole internet thing was a plot to make it easier for Big Brother to access our lives, because people certainly put it all out there these days, on social networking sites, You Tube, etc. (I have no social network site accounts, hate ‘em. I don’t need another way for people I don’t even know to bug me).
