Karlsruhe leaves little room for covert online searches - "Moreover, the highest German court has established a new fundamental right to the 'guarantee of confidentiality and integrity' of information technology systems." - now it's a matter of waiting and seeing how our prolethicians will try to hollow this out again. Bavaria has already been making a lot of noise and wants to continue. NRW will surely try to fiddle with something and whether Schräuble will backtrack is more than questionable. Nevertheless, thanks to Karlsruhe.
