a question

[ksmith]

Before I search further, I'll toss out a general question. Do/Can internet cafes and other public places log the IP addresses of folks using the service and could law enforcement use that info to track/trace a person of interest? IOW, if you take off, toss your laptop over the nearest bridge and use public?

The scary/amusing thing is that there are tools available to novices to make most if not all of this easy. If your protag does much (if any) netsearching on anonymous surfing, the tools are plain to see and pretty easy to set up & use.

but, that said, not everyone has that specific motivation ;^)
