Scarfo Case Could Test Cyber-Spying Tactic  [The Philadelphia Inquirer]

A federal gambling case against the son of jailed mob boss Nicodemo
"Little Nicky" Scarfo could instead be the first legal test of cutting-edge
cyber-surveillance technology that some critics of federal investigations
say borders on Big Brotherism. Court records in the pending case indicate
that Nicodemo S. Scarfo, 35, was the target of a sophisticated surveillance
tool - a so-called keystroke-logging device - that allowed the FBI to
reproduce every stroke he entered on a computer on which gambling
records allegedly were stored.
