Germany Plans To Email Trojans

Posted by kdawson on from the we-can-do-it-but-you-can't dept.

speardane sends us word of a proposal in the German legislature to make it legal for that government to email spyware to terror suspects. The action comes in response to a court denying prosecutors' requests to break into suspects' computers over the Internet. The German chancellor supports the measure despite considerable outcry from political opponents and rights groups.

    But if you know the terrorist's email address why not just go pick him up?
