"FBI to Divulge More Carnivore Details" CNet (03/27/02); Mariano, Gwendolyn U.S. District Judge James Robertson issued a court order this week requiring the FBI to disclose more detailed records about the Carnivore email surveillance system as well as the EtherPeek network management device. The FBI was sued by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) to release Carnivore records under the Freedom of Information Act out of concern that the system could be abused. Out of 1,957 documents searched, only 1,665--mainly of a technical nature--were made available to EPIC, according to the order. EPIC says that documents pertaining to legal and policy issues were conspicuously absent. "I think now--especially after Sept. 11 when these kinds of techniques are likely to increase in use--it's even more important that information be made public and how the techniques are being used and how the Justice Department sees the legal issues," declares EPIC General Counsel David Sobel. The FBI contends that Carnivore is only deployed when a court approves its use in federal investigations. http://news.com.com/2100-1023-870028.html ============================================================ We don’t want your money.
