iPatriot Act ready in a drawer

In a conference panel at the 2018 Fortune Brainstorm, Lessig talked about having dinner with Richard Clark, the government's Counterterrorism Czar.

 I had dinner once with Richard Clark at the table and I said 'is there an equivalent to the Patriot Act -- an iPatriot Act -- just sitting waiting for some substantial event just waiting for them to come have the excuse for radically changing the way the Internet works?' And he said, 'Of course there is' -- and I swear this is what he said, and quote -- 'and Vint Cerf is not going to like it very much.'"
