From what I understand of Carnivore (now known as DCS1000) it's a logging tool more than anything. It doesn't stop anything from going through based on content, it just logs the content and the Feds come in later and retrieve their box.

Yahoo could be screening stuff themselves just to cover their backsides.

Or, they could just have a lot of increased traffic due to last weeks terrorism.

...

As of yesterday, the performance of Yahoogroup's has degraded from a couple minutes, to a couple of hours between posting and distribution. It is rumored that this is due to Carnivore being installed at major ISPs throughout the country.

Any insights?

Jay.
