    A report from the European Parliament has surfaced over the existence of
a
    multinational (United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and New
    Zealand) spy system that has been in place for many years which, among
    other things, tracks and analyzes all data passing through certain
    communications satellites, transoceanic submarine cables, and internet
    exchange points. This system, known as "Echelon", is capable of
    recognizing data of political and/or economic interest.

       "According to a former employee, NSA had by 1995 installed "sniffer"
    software to collect traffic at nine major Internet exchange points."
       -TechWeb

    The Echelon system has been used both for political and economic means.
    Industrial espionage against European corporations, whose governments
are
    not involved in the Echelon system, has been reported. Even more
    staggering is the potential for the invasion of the privacy of ordinary
    citizens.  The data interception systems are obviously in place and are
    being used on data passing through these systems.

    "Together with the giant American National Security Agency (NSA) and its
    Canadian, British, and New Zealand counterparts, DSD operates a network
of
    giant, highly automated tracking stations that illicitly pick up
    commercial satellite communications and examine every fax, telex,
e-mail,
    phone call, or computer data message that the satellites carry.

    The five signals intelligence agencies form the UKUSA pact. They are
bound
    together by a secret agreement signed in 1947 or 1948. Although its
    precise terms have never been revealed, the UKUSA agreement provides for
    sharing facilities, staff, methods, tasks and product between the
    participating governments.

    Now, due to a fast-growing UKUSA system called Echelon, millions of
    messages are automatically intercepted every hour, and checked according
    to criteria supplied by intelligence agencies and governments in all
five
    UKUSA countries. The intercepted signals are passed through a computer
    system called the Dictionary, which checks each new message or call
    against thousands of ``collection'' requirements. The Dictionaries then
    send the messages into the spy agencies' equivalent of the Internet,
    making them accessible all over the world. "
