I read through the article at the link you sent and found it really
interesting.
I don't think that anyone would dispute wanting criminals put away (well, with
the exception of the bad guys themselves)!! What I would question is where the
boundaries of use lie. For example, what if I purchase something off the
internet that becomes illegal. Will the records of my purchase be kept? Will
I be prosecuted? Will I be watched?
What if an aquaintance uses my computer to look at websites about creating
bombs or child porn? How do I prove that it wasn't me if the evidence in on my
machine? How do I even know who went to those sites if I didn't see them do
it?
There was an interesting interview that I got to from a link off from the page
you sent. You have to scroll down the page a bit to see it. It was at:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=carnivore.htm&url=http://slashdot.org/interviews/00/10/13/1343212.shtml
Anyway - this topic was really interesting to learn about. Thanks!

I decided to talk about the Carnivore that the FBI uses to search e-mails,
chat-rooms, keywords, and concepts on the internet. It is basically used to
find any criminal activities or any kind of threat made to a government person.
Alot of people were questioning if it was an invasion of privacy. I
personally think it isnt because the internet needs to be looked at to find
crimes that are happening over the country, and it could be an easy way to find
people who are wanted by the FBI for criminal reasons.
