Wow, I am behind times. I thought Carnivore did exist and it was renamed to some alpha/numerical name to seem less omnious.


As for this being a white elephant or not, its does make sense if you were a goverment angency compiling information on your citizens. I mean, how many articles have you read now about people harvesting info from myspace for id theft?

Seems probably to me but then again I haven't looked to see if any other of the main news (read more credible) have carried anything about this. I haven't heard of the source site before of this before. The only way I found it the article was off of digg. Usually things won't get linked on their unless the poster feels its credible.
