A lot has already happened in the email privacy arena this week.  To begin with, members of Congress are starting to make noise about the National Security Agency's interception of domestic emails, according to a report in the New York Times.

A wiretapping law passed by Congress last year allows the NSA to intercept domestic emails as long as the interception was inadvertent and the byproduct of an investigation of individuals "reasonably believed" to be in a foreign country.

Some members of Congress have started to wonder whether the NSA has exploited the loophole in order to systematically read Americans' emails.
