Keyloggers Now Classified Technology
general_re writes: "The New York Times (free reg required blah blah blah) is reporting that the Department of Justice is still refusing to turn over details of how the keystroke loggers used against Nicky Scarfo worked, claiming that revealing how it works "would render it useless in future investigations" as well as claiming that it is classified information.

One interesting question raised is whether it's always been classified, or if they're retroactively classifying it in order to avoid revealing how they work."
Before we know it, there could be keyloggers for everyone to download!

My only political goal is to see to it that no political party achieves its goals.
It's not that hard to believe - I submitted the story and just used the straight nytimes.com link.
Yes, I know about the partners.nytimes.com and archive.nytimes.com links. Yes, it occurred to me to use them about 30 seconds after submitting the story. Yes, I am a moron.
Thank you.
