Anti-Attack Feds Push Carnivore
Federal police are reportedly increasing Internet surveillance after the deadly attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Just hours after the incident, FBI agents began to visit Web-based, e-mail firms and network providers, according to engineers at those companies. An administrator at one major network service provider said that FBI agents showed up at his workplace on Tuesday "with a couple of Carnivores, requesting permission to place them in our core."
