FBI Has Been Asking To Use Custom Spyware

According to a recent Wired.com article it seems that the FBI has been asking the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in “terrorism and foreign spying cases” to be allowed to use their “CIPAV” (computer and internet protocol address verifier) to snoop the computer activity of people and organizations that they’re investigating.
Problem with this is that it’s pretty obvious that FISC is little more than a rubber stamp to all such surveillance requests if only because they’ve never rejected one. We’re moving farther and farther into an age of surveillance where anyone, at any time, could be the subject of government snooping of one kind or another. It wouldn’t surprise me to someday discover that my bathroom fixtures had somehow been rigged to report my various movements to the feds.
