Actually, I might not have chosen the correct words for what I
wanted...
I am looking for sniffer-programs, that analyze e-mail traffic on
the Net and filtering out all e-mails potentially interesting for
_intelligence services_. For example, I've heard, that if an e-mail
contains the words: "assassinate President" (DISCLAIMER: I hope, our
President lives a long and happy life, even after his
impeachment...:)), it will automatically get filtered and checked
out by the Secret Service.
Different intelligence agencies might have similar things in place.
Where could I get some more information about that?

Thanks in advance...

Ciao

If encryption is outlawed, only outlaws will have encryption...

Everytime someone sends a message through White House web site to the
president ( there is a comment form on the site ) it is scanned for
keywords. It probably happens on other key avenues as well.

Of course there are exceptions to every rule. I heard of a woman who wrote
to Clinton something like:
You are such a dynamite leader. I think you have such an explosive
personality, and I'm dying to meet you.

If you want to scan your E-mail, write a little perl script that takes a
list of keywords to scan for, and the action to take when the keywords are
found. It shouldn't be too hard.
