The Justice Department can legally use a controversial electronic surveillance technique in its prosecution of an alleged mobster. In the first case of its kind, a federal judge in Newark, New Jersey has ruled that evidence surreptitiously gathered by the FBI about Nicodemo S. Scarfo's reputed loan shark operation can be presented in a trial later this year. Wired has the story
We're walking a very thin line here. On the one hand, Law Enforcement needs to have new tools to combat crimes using new technology. On the other, what about privacy.

So I have no problem with legitimate uses backed by evidence and search warrants. However, where does misuse start? I certainly don't want my keystrokes recorded to gain my passwords if I have committed no crime. Frankly, I'm not so much worried about the police as I am about this technology used in the wrong hands.

obviously, any thing of this sort must be used only after a warrant is issued. and the methodology must be available to the defense after arrest.
