FBI Sought Approval To Use Spyware Through FISC 92

An anonymous reader writes "Wired is reporting that the FBI sought approval to use its custom spyware program, CIPAV, from the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in terrorism or spying investigations. Affidavits prepared for the court are among 3,000 pages of documents gathered, but not yet released, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from Wired. The FBI hasn't answered any questions about its use of the CIPAV since the program's existence became widely known in July. The FISC is generally regarded as a rubber stamp; it approved over 4,000 surveillance requests in 2005 and 2006[PDF], rejecting none."

Like anywhere with Palos Verdes in the name in Los Angeles County, Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, etc.

The Soviet Socialist Republik of Kalifornia has more nuts and more rules than any other group of commies combined. Where else could a Socialist Liberal from Austria call himself a Republican and get elected as Governator? Where else do people that live in cities that never see snow or mud buy huge 4WD vehicles and complain because SUVs don't have trunks to put all their junk in? Where else is the majority of the english speaking population incapable of reading "No Parking" signs?

The problem with those people putting sheet metal on their house isn't that they're nuts, it's only that they're the wrong kind of nuts. If they had claimed, instead of protecting themselves from hostile orgones that they were protecting a rare beetle that took up nesting in their siding, the city would have given them an environmental award. Everyone in Kalifornia knows that rare bugs are more important than brain synapses, sheesh.
