According to this Times of India article,'...after investigations have revealed that Mohammad, alias "Burger," who led the Parliament attack, was in constant touch with his counterparts in Pakistan as well as within India through email ... The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has prepared a list of new keywords that are to be used to intercept mails emanating from IP addresses in India.'"

    If we gave them a list of keywords such as "amazing," "opportunity," "cash" and "enlargement," do you think they could go ahead and filter out all the spam while they're at it? A lot of that comes from India anyway, and they'd be killing two birds with one Carnivore.

  2. I can't stop laughing! by Tsar · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Times of India story lists several of these hotbutton words—Kashmir, Lashkar, Pakistan, Musharraf, Jaish, attack, kill, rocket— along with an assurance that those who send email using these keywords will be put under surveillance.

    Then they put a link at the bottom to email the story to your friends!!!

    I can barely catch my breath, I'm laughing so hard!
