Cool I'm gonna add this to my list of reasons I'm happy I live in canada. Can't they not use any information they get out of it in court though if its not related to anything more serious than drugs?

This article is BS.  Laptops do not contain keystroke loggers.

If this was the case, lots of people would notice the network traffic using wireshark on the laptop or upstream of the laptop, and it would be a big story.

Many networks are insecure and no one would notice if the DHS was sent the keystrokes, but many other networks are very secure and any outbound packets that do not belong would be noticed and traced back to the source.  That is how IT security professionals find hackers and its pretty standard practice.  Finding extraneous packets of this nature would be a huge deal in the computer security industry and there is no way that it could go unnoticed.

A google search found this:

The Dell keylogger conspiracy hoax
By Ryan Block posted Jun 16th 2005 8:08PM
Dell keylogger hoax

Just in case you've seen that web page floating around implicating Dell in some wacked out government conspiracy by suggesting they fit a 4mb keylogger between the keyboard end of some guy's 600m and the Ethernet adapter, we'd like to point out a few key bits, having been inside a Dell laptop or forty.

   
  • Dell laptop keyboards plug directly into the motherboard with a ribbon cable
     
  • He was inside to replace a broken PCMCIA slot riser on the motherboard? Uh, that's a guaranteed next-day mobo replacement on a "almost brand new Dell 600m"—not that you could, but why bother even if you knew how and had spare laptop motherboard parts?

  • We've never seen a zip-tied circuit board in professionally assembled machine

  • That device is far too massive to fit under the mobo of a Dell laptop

  • Awful blurry picture of where it's at in the machine!


Sorry dude, but we're calling major, major BS on this. Anyone care to prove us wrong and open up a huge can of civil rights violations?

Update: Looks like the hoaxster pulled the images from here.

Its a crappy site, I wonder if the CIA runs it to discredit antigovernment sites.  Probably just some dumbass though.  Is the whole site a hoax or just that one page?  Hard to say...

Correct.  It came out a long time ago and was proven false.
