Daisy,
This is not proof, but it will open an eye or two for some. Type in "FBI Carnivore Omnivore" into your favorite search engine. Then spend a min. of 20 min.s reading a few links.

The FBI used Carnivore w/o court orders or public knowledge for 1-2 years during "testing." Since 9/11 the sharing of info between feds, like FBI to DEA, has increased 100 times. PM is definitely the way to go for specific facts from one party to another. DB should only be meeting ground and activism.

Fact- DEA just budgeted for 60 new diversion investigators. The storm is not here, but there are clouds on the horizion. I seek caution, not fear and activism, not anarchy.
