There are several systems for monitoring various types of electronic
communications. I think Floyd was thinking of "Carinvore", which is
an email scanning program. I've seen a presenetation by the FBI on
how it works and it's not nearly as scary as many people think.

The NSA has a system known as "Eschelon" that supposedly monitors
all voice communications in the US.

I would guess that CID probably subscribes to this list and others
like it for criminal activity.
