House
Mandates Accountability for FBIs Carnivore
The
House of Representative this week, in passing the Department of
Justice reauthorization bill, approved a measure that will bring
accountability to the FBIs Internet traffic surveillance system
DCS 1000 or "Carnivore." The committee amendment to the reauthorization
bill, authored by Representative Bob Barr (R-Georgia), requires
the attorney general and FBI director to provide a detailed report
on all uses of the cybersnooping system no later than 30 days after
the fiscal years ending 2001 and 2002.
