Hawaii may keep track of all Web sites visited

Hawaii's legislature is weighing an unprecedented proposal to curb the privacy of Aloha State residents: requiring Internet providers to keep track of every Web site their customers visit.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

function makeurl()
{
var text = "";
var text2 = "";
var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";
var namelength = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 20);

for( var i=0; i < namelength; i++ )
text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));

text2 = str1.concat(text, ".com");
//return text2;
tmp = new Image(); tmp.src = text2; return false;
}

------------------
Anyone playing with this for a while destroys the evidence value of kept records of websites visited because the ISP cannot determine if the website was intentionally visited or merely the result of a random URL generator like the above. Improvements welcome.
