The FBI is using an advanced internet wire-tapping system in recent
criminal
                                   investigations. Dubbed "Carnivore," the
program requires the direct connection
                                   of an FBI computer to an ISP's network
and is capable of scanning millions of
                                   e-mails per second. The privacy of
innocent web users appears to be in question
                                   during such scans. Furthermore, the
legality of such far-reaching scans has not
                                   yet been challenged in court.

Not exactly Echelon, but up the same ally.
