An interesting article on how civil forfeiture laws are affecting PayPal.

PayPal meets the Patriot Act
CEI
by Solveig Singleton
"It would be one thing if the law served consumers, or targeted dangerous criminals. But as long as prosecutors and police are tempted by forfeiture laws, law enforcement will remain divorced from ordinary concepts of individual responsibility and the civil servant's duty to the public. And it will begin to look a lot more like legalized extortion." (4/15/03)
