The FBI have plans to wire tap all voice-over-IP style communications. This would cover the Xbox Live, and PS2's VOIP support along with voice-over-IP over the internet.

Whether or not hearing countless gamers screaming at each other will provide any useful intelligence remains to be seen.

Full details can be found on CNET News here.

Counter Strike could confuse them a tad.

R O F L! :D

That was my precise thoughts, similar to something like Rainbow Six 3 or something similar.

Anyway, as unto the main topic, i think that the FBI are being pretty bloody pathetic on this, who on earth bloody thinks that listening to gamers barter on games will procide ANY useful info?

Didnt they release a game called america's most wanted? Is that online enabled?

Just imagine the situation when you shout to your teammates "WEVE FOUND BIN LADEN" and your power gets cut about 30 secs later and your house is suddenly surrounded by SWAT teams. :p

Voice over IP is an important tool for communication. If its not monitored by normal channels, then its a good method for terrorists to communicate.

I'd be surprised if they haven't been monitoring it all the time, and someone has let the cat out of the bag, so they've made this 'announcement'.

I just found it plain amusing just to read this post.

Tapping in to hear voice comms over the internet.
