Re: FBI announcement on email search 'Carnivore'

[Jeffrey I. Schiller]

I suspect that the reason they would want Carnivore as opposed to
looking at spool files is that it is less invasive then looking at spool
files, isn't dependent on the technology choices made by the ISP and
finally its operation is beyond the ISP's examination.

"Here just connect this to your network and we'll take it from there."

I wonder how we find out more (FOIA), the descriptions I have heard so
far (its a sniffer) seems a bit onerous. Big Brother at his best!
