    So what happens to the guy in the Ukraine or Kazahkstan who send spam to
    us? Gonna send in the troops to get him? ? ? ?
    
    Eh, even the guy in the U.S. who's behind a smokescreen.
    
    The sorts of folks who obey the law are probably not spamming much.
    
    The rest are of the mentality that doesn't understand, acknowledge,
    comply with, or respect the law.
    
    Good PR for Congress, won't change the email inboxes much, if at all.
