         From today's Wall Street Journal 
(http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB963523417716552926.htm):

One of the nation's largest Internet-service providers, Earthlink Inc., has 
refused to install a new Federal Bureau of Investigation electronic 
surveillance device on its network, saying technical adjustments required 
to use the device caused disruptions for customers.

The FBI has used Carnivore, as the surveillance device is called, in a 
number of criminal investigations. But EarthLink is the first ISP to offer 
a public account of an actual experience with Carnivore. The FBI has 
claimed that Carnivore won't interfere with an ISP's operations....
