<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just re-read an old favorite: "The Doorbell Rang"
by Rex Stout. It's an early (1965) Nero Wolf detective novel with an anti-FBI
(J. Edgar Hoover era) theme. How he got away with this when it was written is
amazing....Nothing new under the sun, or under cover of "patriotism",
"protecting the public", and "national security"....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I still remember our 1960's anti-war group having a
pot-luck dinner where the FBI showed up to bust our "pot party" and arrested my
(then) husband as an illegal alien. Turns out he was a US Air Force Staff Sgt.
and was born in Canoga Park CA....Embarrasing for them. The FBI also put agents
in a field across the street from our house in open monitoring of us. They got
quite an eyeful of a pregnant teenager sun-bathing, hippies planting spinach,
and US Air Force members coming and going. Courtesy of the folks they were
watching they got sandwiches, organic salad, and iced tea to keep them going on
those long, hot, tiresome August days in Mtn. Home ID.. I hope they all made it
through those crazy times, and I surely wish well to those folks who have
replaced them in the newest cazy times. To their bosses: not so much well
wishes. In fact, a good deal of animosity.</FONT></DIV>

<BR><BR>----------------------------------------<BR>I assume anything I place
on my computer, or send over the Internet, or any phone call I make anywhere,
even from a public phone, is subject to potential surveillance.<BR><BR>I am
way far from super well educated on these complex issues, but from what I have
gathered, encryption does not necessarily assure privacy, with key stroke
loggers such as Magic Lantern. <BR><BR>What if when you are not home,
the FBI or government black-op operatives, or others from who knows where,
break-in, with surveillance technology placed on your computer, that records
or sends every keystroke? Maybe there are safeguards against Magic

THE "MAGIC LANTERN" REVEALED: A REPORT OF THE FBI'S NEW "KEY LOGGING" TROJAN
AND ANALYSIS OF ITS POSSIBLE TREATMENT IN A DYNAMIC LEGAL
LANDSCAPE<BR><BR>McNealy "You already have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
<SUP>1</SUP> Although this quip from Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy seems
extreme, it strongly illustrates the current tension between the power of
technology and an individual's expectation of privacy. <SUP>2</SUP> This
tension creates an incessant struggle, because for power of surveillance
technology to increase, privacy must decrease, and vice versa. These struggles
are best illustrated through the Federal Government's attempts to maintain
national security through surveillance of communications and activities while
attempting to sustain the legitimate expectations of privacy in the American
people. <SUP>3</SUP> One of the most recent developments resulting from this
quandary is the FBI's new enigmatic surveillance tool - a "keystroke logger"
Trojan horse/computer worm they have dubbed "Magic Lantern."
<SUP>4</SUP><BR><BR>." <SUP>6</SUP> Historically, the FBI has been thwarted by
certain counter-intelligence technologies, specifically encryption.
<SUP>7</SUP> Magic Lantern would assist the FBI by recording the passwords
used to encode/decode the encrypted messages, thereby permitting the Bureau to
access the content of the otherwise indecipherable documents. <SUP>8</SUP>
However, critics of the software raise serious concerns about the software's
conflict

construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah
Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of
immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the
past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast
swaths of the world’s communications as they zap down from satellites and zip
through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and
domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and
running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored
in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the
complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as
well as all sorts of personal data trails—parking receipts, travel
itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital “pocket litter.” It is, in
some measure, the realization of the “total information awareness” program
created during the first term of the Bush administration—an effort that was
killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for
invading Americans’
privacy.<BR>-----------------------------------------------------<BR>Vision2020
