"Carnivore" eats into e-mail

Do you know who is reading your e-mail? The FBI does. It has a new snooping system called “Carnivore.” It can intercept all computer messages in a server. The FBI promises to ignore all the e-mail of regular users…and only read the messages covered in its search warrant. That’s not good enough for the ACLU’s Dick Kurtenbach. He says there’s no reason to trust the FBI. The ACLU wants congress to revise the wiretap law to reflect the new technology. The group also wants to know exactly how Carnivore works.
