Reno to investigate Carnivore

by - source: Tom's Hardware

Dubbed Carnivore, the system can monitor e-mails, visits to Web sites and Internet chat sessions. Privacy advocates have expressed concern that it could scan private information about legal activities and result in excessive monitoring of online communications.
