RE: FBI warning to infrastructure owners

Just my 0.02...

That's a nice thought; however, if the FBI shows up at the front door of the
datacenter with probable cause and/or search warrant for analysis of your
network infrastructure due to belief that terrorists are passing email
through your servers, I would be personally inclined to let them conduct
their investigation rather than be charged with aiding criminal activity or
interfering with a federal investigation.

According to news reports Attorney General Ashcroft, the FBI issued
warnings to law enforcement agencies, corporate security officers
and private-sector Information Sharing and Analysis Centers this
week.

As some of you may know, the Internet is not currently covered by
any ISAC.  So you may not receive these warnings.  It is up to the
private sector if, and under what terms, they want to participate
in any information sharing activity.
