pamri writes: "India is getting its own version of Carnivore. 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.'"

    How are they going to find that message, or understand its significance? The NSA intercepted and decrypted a large number of Soviet diplomatic/intelligence messages in the 1940s (VENONA). Despite a large amount of work, the identities of many of the agents referred to in the messages are unknown.
