The German government wants to send
trojan horse software to people it considers to be
terrorists.
The move is part of a package of
anti-terror moves proposed by Interior Minister Wolfgang
Schaeuble.
The idea is that the trojans would be
carried in e-mails that appear to come from other government offices. It
would then allow authorities to investigate suspects' Internet use and
the data stored on their hard drives.
Schaeuble's spokesman said that the use
of government-produced technology for spying on terror suspects
"will cover a serious and scandalous hole in our information that
has arisen through technical changes in recent
years".
