From: Matthew T. Russotto on 18 Apr 2008 18:32 YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH Just kidding. That was Jack Nickelson speaking for the NSA. Here is how it is done: o Select all traffic. o Exclude commonplace traffic, such as mailing lists. example: FROM <firewalls(a)greatcircle.com> This is done by selecting keywords that match against the routing information in the email header: who it came from, who it is going to. The phone analogy is recipient and originating phone numbers. This cuts down on "noise". "Secret Power" gave examples of this too. o Search all traffic for a set of keywords that are found (tuned) over time to have the best results. SOME of the ones I used: first day last day resign new job resume interview drug test It's ironic that drug testing of employees is so wide-spread that it can be used to pick out people looking for new jobs. o Further exclusion logic (keywords) to isolate the meaning of the keyword 'resume' to mean job history. Also, UK people say 'CV'. Example: do NOT allow a sentence fragment like 'resume playing' to trigger "resume condition" inclusion. That's how it is done. I then sit at a terminal and page through a summary of the results, looking for 'hits'. That's how DICTIONARY works too. * The Puzzle Palace, Author James Bamford, 1983 revision * * P496-497: You would put in a whole slew of keywords. * You flip through the results. And it's damn eff

The GSA further stated this would weaken security." [40] The FBI and Military are EXEMPT from any Key Recovery crypto requirements, BECAUSE IT WOULD SERIOUSLY WEAKEN NATIONAL SECURITY. CALEA even directs cable TV companies to restructure themselves for spying. What??? Why does the government want to see traffic BEFORE it reaches the Internet or public telephone networks? CALEA will give the FBI "legal" domestic listening posts. : The Washington Post Magazine, June 23 1996 : "Government surveillance, terrorism and the U.S. Constitution" : from Main Justice, by Jim McGee and Brian Duffy, 1996, ISBN 0-684-81135-9 : : The FBI is growing in tandem with the NSA.

"We did not know the complex was on fire at first, but we started smelling smoke. We didn't know what to do. We were afraid that if we came out of the building, we would be shot. All of a sudden, the smoke came. I couldn't see my husband any more." After the whole thing was over, the BATF raised its own flag over the ruins. Burn baby burn. 80 men, woman and children. The official FBI fire plan [their own C-SPAN testimony], which they followed, was letting them burn. Janet "Barbecue" Reno. Who testified she would do nothing different again. You want to take "responsibility" for it: then resign. Law enforcement gun hysteria. Like a scene from a nightmarish movie [such as Terry Gilliam's Brazil] the Feds, while poking holes in the building with a tank snout and spraying dangerous amounts of toxic tear gas, and while knocking down extended areas of the compound (as shown and commented on by ABC news) with another tank in the rear, blared 1984 Newspeak over loudspeakers at the hapless

And foreign governments. Loss of Fourth Amendment rights. Not even discussed with the American public. Not even debated by our elected representatives. o Domestic law enforcement agencies can request, recei |
