Still trying to figure out how this is an invasion of privacy...

Retailers are required to keep records of credit card purchases, phone companies are required to keep records, etc. all of which can be subpoenaed (sp?

).

Surfing the internet is no more private than making a phone call, and ISPs would be required to keep the records for only 18 months.

That being said, a slippery slope it may be. Time will tell.
