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.

Why does everyone here get all worked up about the governement watching us if they truely have nothing to hide? I mean, you guys are starting to sound like a bunch of criminals. Besides, its not like the FBI would actually be able to keep up with the firehose of traffic traveling over major backbones. Not even today's most advanced network hardware and storage technology would be able to keep pace with sniffing all the data coming across all the networks. Plus, it would be near impossible to sift through it all to discern some kind of pattern.
