Attorney General Janet Reno said the program, used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and dubbed "Carnivore" because it can quickly gobble up and digest huge quantities of e-mail messages, will be studied in depth, and that the university's recommendations will be shared with the public. http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/late/10cnd-carnivore.html [be real interesting to see how ong the study takes dkf] ------- End of forwarded message -------
