It's Official: FBI's Carnivore No More
By Robyn Weisman, www.NewsFactor.com
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) disclosed on Tuesday that
it has given its controversial "Carnivore" e-mail surveillance software
a new, more innocuous name, dubbing the program "DCS1000."
"With upgrades come new names," FBI spokesperson Paul Bresson told news
sources. "Had it not been called Carnivore, it probably wouldn't have
stirred as much controversy."
Bresson admitted that the new moniker "doesn't stand for anything."
