FBI Carnivore Screwup Destroys E-Mail Evidence
An Anonymous Coward writes: "The FBI apparently used Carivore in an attempt to collect information on Osama bin Laden't network. Unfortunately they screwed up and collected information on "non-covered targets" (*ahem*, isn't this the sort of thing we weren't supposed to worry about...). Then the FBI tech was "so upset" that he destroyed ALL of the collected email, not only the information that was not covered by the warrant. Here is the SF Gate Story and EPIC's press release."

FBI Agents work harder than you think. Making fun of them on this huge website is just disrupting them from the important work they do. It's sort of a chain reaction

Could this be a cover up?
Hell, what if they found some evidence that they would be liable to show the American people, and the American people would not be happy to see?
Just a though!

I can't believe that none of you will face the fact that some slashdot-reading, EFF wannabe just fucked up big in a fit of reactionary rage and might just possiblly cost lives. Granted that is a stretch, but at the very least, work has been lost and time (that could be better spent) will have to be wasted on it.

They don't have much time for studying languages between the Zyklon B and Heat of Combustion of the human body studies over there.

FBI Agent 2: here is the data you requested
KGB Agent: Zank you very much Agent 2. *hands over one million dollars*
FBI Agent 2: Ka-ching! Bring on the prostitutes!
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
First we hear about Microsoft being cited for allowing doctored nude photos, and now the FBI accidentally went too far protecting civil rights. I'm dizzy.
I couldn't've thought of a story that: is plausable, shows that the FBI is ultra-concerned with respecting the privacy of ordinary citizens, and uses its overprotectiveness as an excuse for not having intercepted communications that it missed.
The only logical american response is to say "Really guys, we don't care that much about our privacy. If you mess up and snag my email now and then, don't freak. It's okay, you don't have to go delete everything.
After reading the article, it's clear that the real fault for not catching 9/11 isn't the FBI, but slashdotters who raise such a fuss about Carnivore as to make an FBI tech freak out.
