Does the FBI have access to our private e-mail accounts?

Answer 1

Probably. See: ECHELON is a name used to describe a highly secretive world-wide signals intelligence and analysis network run by the UKUSA Community (otherwise described as the "Anglo-Saxon alliance") that has been reported by a number of sources including, in 2001, a committee of the European Parliament (EP report[1]). According to some sources ECHELON can capture radio and satellite communications, telephone calls, faxes, e-mails and other data streams nearly anywhere in the world and includes computer automated analysis and sorting of intercepts.[2] The EP committee, however, concluded that "the analysis carried out in the report has revealed that the technical capabilities of the system are probably not nearly as extensive as some sections of the media had assumed"

Answer 2

Yes, they have had access to all email traffic for the last five years.

JULY 2000: The FBI's new super fast system called CARNIVORE has been intact for over a year now. It's main purpose is to covertly scan millions of e-mail transmissions from suspected criminals and all public and corporate e-mail communications.

Of course this system is separate from the NSA system which is assumed to be more advanced.

Answer 3

It wouldn't be called the intelligence community if they didn't try an find out what were thinking.

Like all forms of communication, as has been shown in court proceedings against dealers etc., there are key words that get flagged. London an indeed all cities has voice recognition programs on payphones key words like Bomb will flag interest, not necessarily directly but your number and indeed your voice will be recorded. People don't have to sift through data, thats what computers are for.

Answer 4

No one can acces the private mails if it is and exchage server or an third party mail server hosted some where then there are chances that they can get the mails what ever you have send fro the system they can get only the last ten mails only

Answer 5

Yes they do thanks to the Pariot Act. They also allegedly use keyword triggers which basically flag e-mails and text messages etc for attention whenever they mention certain words e.g. terrorism, assination, President, etc etc etc.

If the world wanted to really over work the poor FBI we could simply use Terrorism and President in the title of every e-mail we send. The poor analysts would never get a break.

Answer 6

Yes, along with the CIA, MI5, MI6 & GCHQ.
All electronic media is 'captured' by filters linked to GCHQ(UK) & NSA(USA). Within the software are key words, phrases, names, addresses etc. When the data is streamed through the software it is archived for a while UNLESS a key word etc is included in the message. If it carries key data the message is highlighted & analysed.

Answer 7

Yes. Certain words in an email can make the email go to the fbi.

99% of those are harmless. It's the 1% they need to catch.

So as long as you aren't planning something bad, don't worry about it.
