The Patriot Search, recently started "helping" any government by making your search activity "public". Its search syntax terrorist:true *keyword*, and terrorist:false *keyword*, gives everyone the opportunity to be honest :) Why did the idea start at the first place?
Because "only 4 out of 5 search engines allowed the government to see "private" user data". Though, a distinction between private searches VS personally identifiable searches should be made as well.
What's going to happen in the future? Search engines regulation, P3P, or stock market losses due to an initiative whose requirements I feel were totally wrong from the very beginning?
Consider going though David Berlind's comments as well!
