Has Homeland Security Gone Too Far with Surveillance?有国土安全走得太远与监控？

Normally, I’m all for what Uncle Sam needs to do in order to maintain National Security … so long as it doesn’t go too far.一般情况下，我所有的东西山姆大叔需要做的，为了维护国家和民族的安全… …这么久，因为它不会走得太远。 The question is, with this story in但问题是，这一故事在 Hack N Mod哈克n国防部 , has Uncle Sam (and Dell Computers) gone a bridge too far in surveilling America?已山姆大叔（戴尔计算机） ，上了一个新的桥梁太远，在监视美国？

Big Brother is indeed watching you, my friends …大哥的确是在关注着你们，我的朋友们… One man found一男子发现 a keylogger connected to the integrated Ethernet board of his Dell PC. 1键盘记录程序连接到集成以太网董事会他的戴尔电脑。

The story goes on to state that Dell gave him a nondescript reply and after consulting local law enforcement, he made a FOIA request regarding it.故事接着说，戴尔公司给他一个不伦不类的答复，并经征询当地执法，他作了一个foia要求，把保护耕地。 The reply is interesting, but may not be the entire story.答复有趣的是，但未必是整个故事。 Not everything is black helicopters and wiretaps.并非一切都那么黑色直升机和监听。

On it’s face, it appears that Dell Computer may be participating in a felony by installing hardware keyloggers in their Dell Laptops.关于它的颜面，看来戴尔电脑，可参加一项重罪，通过安装硬件按键记录程序，在他们的戴尔笔记本电脑。 However, there are some real world applications for a hardware keylogger … such as information security on business laptops and backup potential in the event of a catastrophic software or hard drive failure.但是，也有一些现实世界中申请一个硬件键盘记录程序… …这种信息安全对商务笔记本电脑和备份潜力，在万一发生灾难性的软体或硬驱动器故障。 And one comfort is that according和一个安慰的是，根据 Keyghost keyghost , the makers of the keylogger, only an administrator can access the log, which only records up to 128,000 characters. ，决策者的键盘记录程序，只有管理员可以访问日志，因为它只能记录多达12.8万字。 Then there’s the deterrant capability that if employees know that a keylogger is installed on their business computers, they won’t use those computers for unauthorized or nefarious uses.还有值得骄傲的deterrant能力，如果员工知道，一个键盘记录软件是安装在其商用电脑的，他们不会利用这些电脑，未经授权或邪恶的用途。

It could be a mistake of distribution, or deliberate design meant to accommodate their business customers.这可能是一个错误的分布，或故意设计的意思，以容纳他们的商业客户。 But if Dell is installing these in all their laptops and not advising their customers with an option to have it removed, then perhaps they are indeed violating a customer’s rights.但是，如果戴尔的是安装这些在其所有的笔记本电脑和不会劝谕他们的客户可选择将它删除，那么，或许他们确实是侵犯了顾客的权益。
