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."
