3 Aug 2000: A
Federal Judge ordered the U.S. Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) to produce a timetable under
which it will start to make available to the public
information about Carnivore, powerful software that
the FBI says is designed to sift through e-mail
messages and capture those relevant to a criminal
investigation. ... The Electronic Privacy Information
Center (EPIC), ... which believes the tool may
violate legal protections against unlawful search and
seizure, accused FBI of breaking the law by refusing
its request for expedited processing of its request
for documents under the Freedom of Information Act.

World" magazine, 20 November 2000.
In testing,
Carnivore reliably captured and archived all
unfiltered traffic that went to the internal hard
drive on a typical PC. The FBI's public defense of
Carnivore claimed that it captures only traffic
isolated by a software filter that limits it to
particular information authorized for seizure in a
court order.
