Stopping Carnivore Doesn't Stop FBI Surveillance

Federal agency now turns to Internet service providers for information on people under investigation.

WASHINGTON--The FBI has discontinued the use of Carnivore, its controversial and top-secret Internet monitoring program, but your Internet service provider probably has already taken its place as a gatherer of information.

Surprisingly, after all the controversy about the Carnivore program when word of its use first trickled out nearly five years ago, the FBI says it hasn't used the Carnivore program in the past 24 months. Instead, it substitutes commercially available programs that do the same thing--gather information, such as e-mail messages, from the PC of a person under investigation.
