Yes, the FBI and CIA can read your email. Here’s how

“Petraeus-gate,” some U.S. pundits are calling it. How significant is it that even the head of the CIA can have his emails read by an albeit friendly domestic intelligence agency, which can lead to his resignation and global, and very public humiliation? Here’s how.

The U.S. government — and likely your own government, for that matter — is either watching your online activity every minute of the day through automated methods and non-human eavesdropping techniques, or has the ability to dip in as and when it deems necessary — sometimes with a warrant, sometimes without.

That tin-foil hat really isn’t going to help. Take it off, you look silly.

Gen. David Petraeus, the former head of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, resigned over the weekend after he was found to have engaged in an extra-marital affair. What caught Petraeus out was, of all things, his usage of Google’s online email service, Gmail.

This has not only landed the former CIA chief in hot water but has ignited the debate over how, when, and why governments and law enforcement agencies are able to access ordinary citizens’ email accounts, even if they are the head of the most powerful intelligence agency in the world.

If it makes you feel any better, the chances are small that your own or a foreign government will snoop on you. The odds are much greater — at least for the ordinary person (terrorists, hijackers et al: take note) — that your email account will be broken into by a stranger exploiting your weak password, or an ex-lover with a grudge (see “Fatal Attraction“).

Forget ECHELON, or signals intelligence, or the interception of communications by black boxes installed covertly in data centers. Intelligence agencies and law enforcement bodies can access — thanks to the shift towards Web-based email services in the cloud — but it’s not as exciting or as Jack Bauer-esque as one may think or hope for.

I am just an ordinary Joe, however I wrote an eye witness documentary of the Vietnam War. An FBI operative, Larry Carr, (Yes, his real name) bonded with me on the website, dropzone.com. He had downloaded my book from Lulu.com. The only one that I know who has a copy, and wanted to discuss it with me along with more significant matters. In an interview with United States Parachute Association Larry Carr admitted in their magazine that he was spying on me and other D. B. Cooper suspects, and me an ordinary Joe. What's the point point? Be careful Joe and Jane.

 As far as I'm concerned the clowns can read my e-mails etc. any time they like - they might even learn something if they did!!  David's comment is most appropriate.

BACK IN THE 80'S THAT i KNOW OF the NSA was doing this. Now anyone computer geek can hack your system and you won't even know it. As for me I don't give a shit what they do with a computer. I say to the gov. your criminal ways are numbered,the people are waking up.Papers are now being made to impeach king obama and his hinchmen. Glenn Beck say's jail time? OK,sounds correct for those of us that still care about what is left of the US. I want to be a citizen of Texas.
