He left with the requested information in about ten minutes. You don't literally "pour through" the millions of records. You do a quick search. They do own computers at ISP's, you know.

The log files have gotten huge now.
They were massive when I was in the game a few years ago.
I kept about a weeks worth of log files.
And it was a very small ISP I was working for.
But you could grep for the information,
but you would have to know what you were looking for first.
If you grepped for a single ip on a single day you would be lible
to get thousands of hits.
But it can be done if necessary.
