UK police: 'We need crime breathalysers for PCs'

,----[ Quote ]
| UK police are hoping to one day develop a breathalyser-style tool for 
| computers that could instantly flag up illegal activity on any PC it's 
| attached to.  
| 
| Detective superintendent Charlie McMurdie, architect of the UK's Police 
| Central E-crime Unit (PCeU), said frontline police ideally need a digital 
| forensic tool as easy to use as the breathalyser, to help them deal with 
| growing numbers of computers being seized during raids on suspects' homes.

| The issue of encryption "would have to be faced," Sherman admitted after 
| talking about the wonders of filtering. "One could have a filter on the end 
| user's computer that would actually eliminate any benefit from encryption 
| because if you want to hear [the music], you would need to decrypt it, and at 
| that point the filter would work."
