- Jeff,
-
- It looks like 'Bureau' in 'FBI' is about to be replaced
with 'Gestapo,' given this news below that they're seeking to impose new,
"always- installed" citizen-surveillance architecture in US ISPs.
-
- Combined with their other new power to surveil us for
48 hours without warrants, I'm sure that the intellects and pseudo-intellects
alike will see where the FGI is going with THIS crap... 'Velcome to Russia,
Komrad!' (They have to stop after 48 hours, but I didn't see anything saying
they couldn't go for another 48 after waiting out a 1 minute cooling-off
period. So maybe this equates to perpetual surveillance, so long as they
"drop off" the line at least once every 48 hours to keep it legal?)

- FBI GAINING NET RIGHTS OCT 22 2001 LINK
- EXCERPT: The government is reportedly working to create
an aggressive and comprehensive Internet eavesdropping capability that
could fundamentally alter the landscape of privacy - and cost businesses
a bundle. Businesses could be required to install expensive government
snooping software in their corporate networks, and communications companies
may have to do the same.

- FBI EYES PACKET TAPS OCT 18 2001 :LINK
- EXCERPT: Expect the FBI to expand its Internet wiretapping
program, says a source familiar with the plan. Stewart Baker, a partner
with law firm Steptoe & Johnson, is a former general counsel to the
National Security Agency. He says the FBI has spent the last two years
developing a new surveillance architecture that would concentrate Internet
traffic in several key locations where all packets, not just e-mail, could
be wiretapped.
