Symantec Will Not Detect Magic Lantern
An anonymous reader contributes: "In this article on Declan McCullagh's Politech, Symantec chief researcher Eric Chien stated that provided a hypothetical keystroke logging tool was used only by the FBI, Symantec would avoid updating its antivirus tools to detect such a Trojan, echoing a similar stance Network Associates allegedly took with its McAfee anti-virus software earlier this week. 'If it was under the control of the FBI, with appropriate technical safeguards in place to prevent possible misuse, and nobody else used it -- we wouldn't detect it,' said Chien. 'However we would detect modified versions that might be used by hackers.'"

I hate to do this since this seems like a neat site, but the "radio" broadcasts are not very packed with facts. I listened to several of them, and the only one that had any facts in it was the Cell Phone Ban segment. Most of it is just his opinoins. Maybe my definition of facts is too rigid. I like the concept, but the name doesn't ring true.
