Bullshit. The "garbage on the curb" situation is due to the fact a court ruled that once you dispose of garbage "in a public place", there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Destroying email is exactly the opposite - there is an extremely strong expectation of privacy.

Easy big fella / fellette. Notice the use of the phrase "I have to wonder..." The point being:

- Might it be possible? - Could it be argued? - Are the courts and laws up to speed on such things?

For example, how would this play in a FISA court? Special case? Yes; not plain vanilla law.
