Ah, yes, "Magic Lantern," the "FBI virus" that wasn't.  (A virus, that is.)  Gee, 
who would have thought of placing a keylogger on someone's laptop.  Or tracing

(I also recall was the first time that "do not flag" signatures came up for discussion 
in a big way.  Anyone found an actual "do not flag" snippet in a virus in the wild 
yet?)
