-Caveat Lector- Monday, the Pew Internet & American Life Project released a survey on public attitudes in regard to online crime & governmental attempts to combat it. http://www.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=32 Methodology (unlike the implications of the results) looks acceptable. >From the summary: "Some 54% of Americans approve of the idea of FBI monitoring of suspects' email, while 34% disapprove." "Among the relatively small number of Americans (21%) who have heard about the FBI's email sniffing program called "Carnivore" or "DCS1000," there is much more evenly divided opinion. Forty-five percent of people who have heard of it say Carnivore is good because it will allow the FBI a new way of tracking down criminals. Another 45% say Carnivore is bad because it could be used to read emails to and from ordinary citizens."
