(With all the academics out there wasting tax dollars on "studies," I'd like to see how much tax money such a system would save the US by thinning out the prison population along purely voluntary lines...)

You don’t really think your government would let those newly unoccupied jail cells go empty would you?
No, my naive friend, new laws would be created, and new criminals would be discovered so that these jail cells would never go to waste, remember now prisons are big business for pork barrel politicians, doughnut eating LEOS and crooked lawyers.
Back to the books for you, maybe the academics you so readily scorn might still be able to teach you something.

Most computers will store the last week or twos worth of browsing as well as all the image files that are viewed. This is simple police work to find these items; no great hacking skills are required.

Well, you've got a point. And, now that the Feds can say that even citizens can be denied due process if they're accused of really, really bad things, (and even Freepers cheer the Feds on! -- see here: 'Dirty Bomb' Suspect Not Cooperating, Wolfowitz Says), I imagine prison space soon will be even more at a premium...
