Thanks for giving big brother a very good idea, as a former big brother gaming theory specialist,
I would say that a system is already in place to achieve some limited type of capability that is described in this thread. Howevr just like pot growers use others to buy halides, computers can be purchased by others. One method that can not be defeated is survailance with in 300 yards of target subject and intercepting the radio wave keystroke communication between keybaord and computer. This operation is expensive and is only used on SAI's (special active investigations). As for keystroke capture an early version was the "Ring Back Equivalance number" on the back of early computers. The Government may not be able to due much real time capture, but it can travel back in time and review captured data once "keys" are established to use as permutaion and combination vectors. Note all ISP are required to keep a record of all daily pages for 18 month's and user traffic as well as E-mails. Useing a libray for instance to hide web information just makes tracking your movements easier as that traffic is sorted already. The internet is an experiment that so far has failed. It will need to be redisgned over the next few years so that "cookies", which are just "Corporate Worms", do not allow virus'es and worms to use the same pathways for destruction. Look also for automatic software updates like the system Apple has used for the last year, to become more sophisticated in that the updates will be done without the user's permission. It will become a requirement to be able to use the web. The Web is a system of traffic intersections and Government must step in and regulate the use of the intersections currently their is no definition of intersection for cookies and some e-mails. For instance do you really own your computer when cookies can execute operations on your computer without your knowledge? Should an E-mail be allowed to take command of your computer by just highlighting the E-mail in Outlook Express? Should Microsoft be held liable for a defective product like a car manufacture for allowing Outlook to have this flaw, or deliberate Microsoft survilance system capability built into Oulook, for anyone to take advantage of? Why can't cookies be reguired to have a message describing thier capabilities and intended use of your hard drive as well as requiring all cookies to have their code available for inspection by a user through a process that is a one click operation? Before these things are done use the net with the knoweledge that it is a beta product, subject to potentual failure.
