Gotta share this one, thanks

Keystroke Loggers
Installed In New Laptop Computers
Government And Computer Manufacturers Are Caught Installing
Hard-Wired Keystroke Loggers Into All New Laptop Computers.
Device captures everything you type and sends it via your ethernet card
to the Dept. of Homeland Security without your knowledge, consent or a
search warrant - every time you log on to the internet!
I was opening up my almost brand new laptop, to replace a broken PCMCIA
slot riser on the motherboard. As soon as I got the keyboard off, I noticed
a small cable running from the keyboard connection underneath a piece of
metal protecting the motherboard.
I figured "No Big Deal", and continued with the disassembly. But when I
got the metal panels off, I saw a small white heatshrink-wrapped package.
Being ever curious, I sliced the heatshrink package open. I found a little
circuit board inside.
Being an EE by trade, this peaked my curiosity considerably. On one side
of the board, one Atmel AT45D041A four megabit Flash memory chip.
On the other side, one Microchip Technology PIC16F876 Programmable
Interrupt Controller, along with a little Fairchild Semiconductor CD4066BCM
quad bilateral switch.
Looking further, I saw that the other end of the cable was connected to
the integrated ethernet board.
What could this mean? I called the manufacturer's tech support about it.
They said, and I quote, "The intregrated service tag identifier is there for
assisting customers in the event of lost or misplaced personal information."
He then hung up.
A little more research, and I found that that board spliced in between
the keyboard and the ethernet chip is little more than a Keyghost hardware
keylogger.
The reasons why a computer manufacturer would put this into their
laptops can only be left up to your imagination. It would be very
impractical to hand-analyze the logs and very CPU-intensive to do so on a
computer for every person that purchased a laptop. Why are the keyloggers
there? I recently almost found out.
I called the police, as having a keylogger unknown to me in my laptop is
a serious offense. They told me to call the Department of Homeland Security.
At this point, I am in disbelief. Why would the DHS have a keylogger in my
laptop? It was surreal.
So I called them. They told me to submit a "Freedom of Information Act"
request.
This is what I got back:
.
Under the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), the only items exempt from
public disclosure are "items relating to *law enforcement tools* and
techniques" and "items relating to national security."
The real life implications of this are plain: computer manufacturers
appear to be cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security to make
every person who buys a new laptop computer subject to immediate,
unrestricted government recording of everything they do on those computers.
EVERYTHING!
This information can be sent to DHS, online, without your knowledge or
consent, without a search warrant, or even probable cause! That's why this
device is hard-wired directly into the ethernet card, which communicates
over the internet!
I am not certain how long this information will be permitted to remain
online for the world to see before the government takes some type of action
to attempt to have it removed from public view.
