      Der Fleischfresser der gesetzlich ermächtigten Behörden hat  
die Industrie etwas erstaunt ob seiner Frassfreudigkeit was E- 
Mails anbelangt. Zum Andocken braucht die Software im  
übrigen genau so eine Abhör-Schnittstelle, wie sie das  
European Telecom Standards Institute gerade für Europas  
digitale Netze standardisiert.

Essentially a personal computer stuffed with specialized  
software, Carnivore represents a new twist in the federal  
government's fight to sustain its snooping powers in the  
Internet age. But in employing the system, which can scan  
millions of e-mails a second, the FBI has upset privacy  
advocates and some in the computer industry. 
... 
The FBI developed the Internet wiretapping system at a  
special agency lab at Quantico, Va., and dubbed it Carnivore  
for its ability to get to "the meat" of what would otherwise be  
an enormous quantity of data. FBI technicians unveiled the  
system to a roomful of astonished industry specialists here  
two weeks ago in order to steer efforts to develop  
standardized ways of complying with federal wiretaps.  
.... 
Word of the Carnivore system has disturbed many in the  
Internet industry because, when deployed, it must be hooked  
directly into Internet service providers' computer networks.  
That would give the government, at least theoretically, the  
ability to eavesdrop on all customers' digital communications,  
from e-mail to online banking and Web surfing.
