Labs To Check E-mail
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Jan 12 (AP) - The Department of Energy plans to
start inspecting all electronic mail entering or leaving four
national laboratories, in a pilot program designed to prevent spying.
DOE officials issued a notice Monday establishing the ``Electronic
Mail Analysis Capability.''
According to the notice, a computer will sift through the e-mail,
forwarding anything suspicious to a counterintelligence analyst.
All mail to or from foreign countries - or addressed to foreign
nationals within the country - will automatically be flagged as
suspicious, the notice says.
The DOE has not defined what type of message content might lead to a
review.
The e-mail inspection project is aimed at testing whether monitoring
e-mail is an effective way to deal with espionage threats to nuclear
weapons laboratories.
The program will be tested for six months at four labs -- Sandia and
Los Alamos in New Mexico, Lawrence Livermore in California, and
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state.
Officials at Sandia and Los Alamos said they are still deciding how
to implement the program.
