EPIC repeated its warning in the wake of reports that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is about to embark upon a comprehensive program of monitoring non-military Government computer networks and communications networks used by crucial industries like banking, telecommunications and transportation. In its report "Critical Infrastructure Protection and the Endangerment of Civil Liberties," released in October 1998, EPIC noted that the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection (PCCIP) had proposed the development of a large-scale monitoring strategy for communications networks. Borrowing techniques that have been applied to hostile governments and foreign agents, the PCCIP brings the Cold War home with an open-ended proposal to conduct ongoing surveillance on the communications of American citizens. EPIC noted in its report that "these proposals are more of a threat to our system of ordered liberty than any single attack on our infrastructure could ever be." According to EPIC General Counsel David Sobel, the new FBI surveillance plan "demonstrates that privacy concerns are being swept under the rug." He warned that, "There is a real danger that a Cold War mentality is developing within the federal government when it comes to the perceived threats of the Internet and communications technology." Since the publication of its report, EPIC has been monitoring implementation of the PCCIP recommendations, including the "United States National Plan for Information Systems Protection." That plan calls for the establishment of a Federal Intrusion Detection Network (FIDNET). The FIDNET system would be linked to a similar system in the Defense Department known as the Joint Task Force/Computer Network Defense (JTF-CND), which monitors all Defense Department networks. Earlier this year, EPIC filed a series of Freedom of Information Act requests seeking the details of these initiatives.
