Hmm id like to see the link where they said that.

Fortunatly most of us internet savy users have multiple antiviri programs, as well as multiple firewalls due to nmap expoits.

Any company helping ANYONE to slip trojan like programs through their systems scott free should get a swift kick in the butt.

If the FBI or the CIA wanted to keep track of someone all they would have to do is to grab their ip, then look up what isp they are from and then issue a search warrant for that company and put a trace on every sight they goto, as well as what files they send or recieve, everything that they do is passed through their routers.

But with them attempting this project here, it looks to me that they are trying to get around privacy issues where you would need a search warrant.
Which is not really surprising, anyone who has watched these guys, already know they dont play by their own rules, and do comprimise the rights of their own citizens on a daily basis.
Take the wire tapping for an example, they have to have a warrent issued to tap a phone line, but there are litterally thousands of phones tapped that were never approved of through our judicial department.

Infact the only thing here that really surprises me is the fact that they acknowledged the existance of the program itself.

Usually they would just throw so much dis-information out there it would cloud the truth.
