Here is a snippet from the MSNBC article.
Quote:
Carnivore, the FBI’s controversial e-mail snooping program, hunts in a pack. The program is part of covert surveillance triad known inside the bureau as the “DragonWare Suite,” according to recently declassified documents. The documents also outline how the DragonWare Suite is more than simply an e-mail snooping program: it’s capable of reconstructing the Web surfing trail of someone under investigation.
Kinda scary. The full article is available here - http://msnbc.com/news/477749.asp

Hmm. Aren't I pleased I live in the UK. Here, we only have the regulatory of Investigatory Powers act, which lets them (them being the powers that be) snoop, track E-Mail, and obliges we, the plebs, to hand over private encryption keys (with a mandatory 3-year prison sentance if we don't). There's also a 4-year sentance if we're taken into custody in the middle of the night under the RIPS and tell anyone why we're being investigated. Anarchy, huh.
