I must have misread because in the quote you supplied I thought it said 'voluntarily' and 'separate' and in the article it says:
The proposed solution: a dot-secure safe zone (basically, a separate Internet) where things like financial institutions, sensitive infrastructure, government contractors, and the government itself can hide behind heavier defenses.
Your fourth amendment privacy rights wouldn't apply here, as you would consent to give them up upon entry; as when walking onto a military base or into an airport, users would have to show detailed identification and credentials to get in. Those who want to remain anonymous on the Web can still frolic about in the world of dot-com, but in the dot-secure realm you would have to prove you are you.
Emphasis mine..
Still, if you want to start crying like they've said they're going to monitor EVERYTHING against people's will (which it clearly doesn't) carry on....edit on 10-7-2011 by AgentSmith because: (no reason given)
What part of "Fourth Amendment rights to privacy are voluntarily foregone " do you not understand. It is Against The Law to remove any part of this. Ask some of the attorneys that respond to this OP. You can NOT voluntarily forgo Any of your rights. What the General has implied, goes against his oath, and IS treason!

Every computer that connects to the Internet has an "Internet Protocal" number abbreviated as IP. Mine is 86.144.164.42. Every computer therefore can be instantly traced by who ever might want to do a trace. So already there is no such thing as privacy on the Internet. Hackers are already traced in this way. Public terminals usually know the full identity, name and home address, of anyone using their computers. In fact the IP system is going to be upgraded soon to accomodate the vaste numbers of users expected now that computers are more mobile. Anyone using the FTP "file transfer protocol" understands the IP system. Politicians are idiotic. What do they ever understand about anything ?
