Title: RE: Senate votes to permit warrantless Net-wiretaps, Carnivore use

It's not like you can automatically tell someone's age.  I don't doubt the algorithms.  Like I said, my biggest concern would be what they do with the info.

 

I would think once this gets passed, only an idiot wouldn't use some kind of codes.

Could anyone over the age of 12 understand what kids are talking about? :-)

 

Serioiusly though, a phrase like that would only raise a marker. It would probably then then be double checked to see what the flow of conversation was like. Given the huge number of conversations that they're listening in to, there must be some fantastic algorithms to remove harmless ones.

 

A few months ago here in Europe, someone tried to flood Echelon by sending out an email virus that consisted of 1.5 pages of nothing but suspect phrases and words  like "kill the president", hacker, cybercrime etc, etc. It was a pathetic attempt to flood it but would never have worked due to the lack of structure in the document.

As much as I don't necessarily have a problem with this, the real question will be what happens when someone makes an offhand, attempt-at-humor comment that sets off whatever "filters" they're looking for.  Will my kid get put on a list because he's researching and chatting with friends about JFK's assasination and the phrase "kill the president" is in their conversation?

Write my Congressman about what?  About implementing laws designed to
protect us at the cost of a minor infringement on my civil rights?  What
are they doing that your employer or network admins, who could use
benign e-mails in a much more malicious manner, don't already do.  While
I don't like it that we have go to these lengths, I feel it's necessary
for our National Security.  Besides, I've nothing to hide and if I had
something to hide I would not be likely to send it via e-mail. Maybe,
just maybe, if we had this in place a while back, some 6,000+ people,
some of which may have even been on this list, would still be with us.
It's a dangerous world out there, which requires unpleasant measures.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
