    For instance, the US government used several electronic surveillance programs to monitor al-Qaeda’s Internet use. The government reportedly used Carnivore, a computer program that can read a suspect’s email and other electronic data on a real-time basis, and print or store the information for FBI agents to view or save as electronic evidence for prosecution. The government also used Echelon, a global eavesdropping system that links supercomputers throughout the world to automatically search through the millions of intercepted messages for ones containing pre-programmed keywords of fax, telex, and email addresses (see Sidhu [8, p. 388]).
