I offer you only a few thoughts as my evening tonight is filled with privacy homework and a statistics project. Only two more days of school and then I can escape to Buffalo for a bit of relaxation and reading before concluding the semester.

Thus this is very short as I am about to return to writing summaries of court cases related to privacy (which there are an awful lot of). But before I go, I leave you with this question:

Let us say I send an email to you. Now before you have read the email it exists, somewhere, on some server, in storage. However you have not yet received it so you could also say it is in transmission. Yet, there are two laws that apply here, one to stored communications, one to communications in transmission.

So is the email stored or in transmission?
I believe the answer is Heisenbergian.
