FBI Wants to Tap The Net

Majik was among the stream sof people submitting this story about the FBI wanting to tap the net. Makes carnivore look like a baby monitor since this tracks all packets, and would be placed at key locations on the net.

I am reminded of the NSA's escapade with taping the single fiberoptic line under the atlantic (one line tapped, of several in place). The flood of information was too much for them to do ANYTHING with.

For the FBI to pull this off, they would certainly need quantum computers... And what of speling myst-aches? This requires more computing power... Even Caeser cyphers become effective means of defeating these because of computational limits...
