Comcast Joins the National Security Team

Comcast, the nation's second largest Internet service provider, has teamed up with the Feds to monitor personal email, voice, and overall web traffic. Comcast will hire one person as its reconnaissance and analysis of subscriber intelligence specialist.

In addition to holding a snazzy title and having access to millions of people's personal lives, the engineer will work closely with the Feds in monitoring cyber crimes.

For your safety, Comcast is now in full compliance with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), a legislative act requiring all Internet service providers to install gear that allows for easy wiretapping.

I don't know about you, but I feel much, much safer knowing someone is out there monitoring my web traffic. From cyber terrorism to software pirating, I have no doubt the one person Comcast will hire will be able to successfully defeat all forms of web terror.
