Most US based ISPs are participating in the Carnivore program that was developed by the FBI. Trust me on this one ;)

Oh I think I follow the thought of this thread then... I remember that being talked about a month or so ago on here.
But that's us, the USA, what about other countries though? Aussie doesn't seem like a place to enforce something like that. But then again if other countries are coming overseas (in a sense) and connecting into our servers, then they could be tracked while here.
I can't speak for non US ISPs, however, if you traverse a US based ISP guess what happens?? ;)
Thanks acid, yes, are they recording? Im not doing anything to bring them to my door, but
I have been reading a lot about security and the more I read the more I realise I have to read.
Thanks AO, and thanks "the horse 13"

Just a little question, If I wanted to start a small isp for my city, would I have to install .gov spyware?
