Exactly. From what we're lead to believe, Carnivore discards all packets
that aren't email, then discards all emails that aren't covered by the
warrant. However, Carnivore must be monitoring *all* traffic in order to
make those determinations. Therefore, the privacy of every individual and
organization utilizing a network on which a Carnivore resides is being
violated.
