Now that we have McAfee on the record, let's go back to the Associated
Press article from last week. It's written by Ted Bridis, a careful
reporter, and says:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1436-2001Nov22.html
At least one antivirus software company, McAfee Corp., contacted the
FBI on Wednesday to ensure its software wouldn't inadvertently detect
the bureau's snooping software and alert a criminal suspect.
Perhaps Ted can elaborate?

Dear Sir/Madam:
1. Network Associates/McAfee.com Corporation has not contacted the FBI, nor
has the FBI contacted NAI/McAfee.com Corp., regarding Magic Lantern.
2. We do not expect the FBI to contact Network Associates/McAfee.com
Corporation regarding Magic Lantern.
3. Network Associates/McAfee.com Corp. is not going to speculate on Magic
Lantern as it's existence has not even been confirmed by the FBI or any
government agency.
4. Network Associates/McAfee.com Corporation does and will continue to
comply with any and all U.S. laws and legislation.
Regards,
Marisa Lewis
