Our buddy Declan has written a C|Net article on Cisco creating "more efficient and targeted way for police and intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on people whose Internet service provider uses their company's routers." Says Marc Rotenberg, head of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, "I don't see why the technical community should hardwire surveillance standards and not also hardwire accountability standards like audit logs and public reporting. The laws that permit 'lawful interception' typically incorporate both components--the (interception) authority and the means of oversight--but the (Cisco) implementation seems to have only the surveillance component." Of course, it didn't take long for /. to jump on this.
