Which details?

I don't see any home addresses, lists of families members including those who were unaffected, friends whom they're meeting, daily comings and goings or a host of other personal details which the unabomber probably would have recorded.

Are those details out there on this "internet" of which you speak? Are they really?

Look, a federal judge, familiar with the actual content of the documents has ordered it redacted in order to protect those affected and their associates. Is it possible some of that information is out there already? Of course. But obviously not so far as the judge knows, and so the action to remove that information is highly principled and reasonable under the circumstances.

How would you feel if the state knowingly sold all your most personal details and those of your family, as recorded by some bastard criminal who tried to blow you up? And then wanted to compensate you using the remuneration from their sale?
