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. Nevermind that this also prevents his lawyers from evaluating or attacking the credibility or accuracy of the evidence arrayed against him. 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."
It occurs to me that as popular as the "archive" links are, it is hard to believe that no one has yet submitted an "archive" link with a story. I would speculate that the Slashdot editors deliberately remove these links as to not anger the NY Times.
