Carnivore Freedom of Information Act
documents:
Specifically, check out:
where
the ability for Carnivore to archive both filtered and
unfiltered traffic is stated.
That sounds quite off. Did you notice my post
regarding the difference between the two systems (Carnivore & Echelon)
this morning? The government would need to know what they are
intercepting traffic to and from. Also, do you really think that they
are dumb enough to put one of their highly classified boxen into a co-lo type
situation? I seriously doubt it.

Anti-Attack Feds Push Carnivore

WASHINGTON -- Federal
police are reportedly increasing Internet
surveillance
after Tuesday's deadly attacks on the World Trade
Center
and the Pentagon.
Just hours after three airplanes smashed into the buildings in
what
some U.S. legislators have dubbed a second Pearl
Harbor, FBI agents
began to visit Web-based, e-mail
firms and network providers,
according to engineers at
those companies who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
An administrator at one major network
service provider said that FBI
agents showed up at his
workplace on Tuesday "with a couple of
Carnivores,
requesting permission to place them in our core, along
with offers to actually pay for circuits and costs."
The person declined to say for publication what the provider's response
was,
"but a lot of people" at other firms were quietly going along with
the FBI's
request. "I know that they are getting a lot of 'OKs' because
they made it a
point to mention that they would only be covering our core
for a few days,
while their 'main boxes were being set up at the Tier 1
carriers' -- scary,"
the engineer said.
[...]
Microsoft's Hotmail service has also been
the target of increased
federal attention, according
to an engineer who works there.
"Hotmail officials
have been receiving calls from the San Francisco
FBI
office since mid-(Tuesday) morning and are cooperating with
their
expedited requests for information about a few
specific accounts," the
person said. "Most of the
account names start with the word 'Allah'
and contain
messages in Arabic."
