This is from a newsletter I subsribe to The FBI has built a sophisticated, point-and-click surveillance system that performs instant wiretaps on almost any communications device. It is called DCSNET, for Digital Collection Services Network, which connects FBI rooms to switches controlled by traditional landline operators, internet-telephone providers and cellular companies. It is far more intricately woven into the nation’s telecom infrastructure than anyone expected. It collects, sifts, and stores telephone numbers, calls and text messages. An agent in New York, for example, can remotely set up a wiretap on a cell phone based in Sacramento, Ca., and immediately learn the phone’s location, then begin receiving conversations, text messages and voicemail pass codes in New York. With a few keystrokes, the agent can route the recording to language specialists for translation. The numbers dialed are automatically sent to FBI analysts trained to interpret phone call patterns, and are transferred nightly, external storage devices, to the bureau’s Telephone Application Database, where they are subjected to a type of data mining called link analysis. There are 57 FBI endpoints. There were 1,839 criminal wiretaps in 2006, a 60% jump and of those 92% were cell phones. The law that allows this was put in place by the Clinton administration. It is the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, of 1994, which mandated backdoors in US telephone switches. The voice-over-Internet companies, such as Vonage have to retrofit as well. The FBI has spent almost $500 million so they can spy on you.
