rrkap writes "The Sacramento Bee is reporting that Jason Heath Morgan, a suspect in a child porn case was subject to the first 'live internet wiretap.' According to the story, 'Technology used in the surveillance is very similar to a phone tap. Agents attached a monitoring device to Morgan's phone line, then tracked his Internet activity from remote computers.' This packet sniffing was authorized by the PROTECT Act - officially Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act, which authorizes such tapping of internet connections."


Hummmmm ....

i'm surprised their "wiretapping" is just being made public now, they've been doing it for years already

I don't know if it's just a simple tap on the phone line. But they could get a back log from the ISP, which I would susspect would be easier than doing that type of tap!

jDoG

And besides that how would it work on cable and/or wireless connections?

they need a reason for spending gazillion dollars

that is scary, why dont they install software that can take screenshots of his desktop every couple of seconds...ive done it before, you see everything he's doing...it logs keystrokes, it did everything...

you're tellin me they dont do this to terror suspects now?
