Gotta love this. The DoJ wanted a "review" of Carnivore. Lots of
reputable academics refused to be involved in rubber-stamping such
crap after seeing the conditions imposed on the "reviewers".

names removed. But...

Cryptome has confirmed that digital overwrites in the Carnivore review
proposal can be unmasked by copying and pasting the PDF text or by
using an Adobe plug-in, such as Pitstop, to remove overwriting. [...]
Here are excerpts of the proposal with restored portions shown in red.

You can download the redacted one and the restored one to compare (see
page 3 for instance, or the last page).
This is how well they hide the identities of their sidekicks? And
Americans are supposed to entrust their privacy to these clowns?
