In its war against terrorism, Mumbai’s police is planning to install keystroke loggers [1] in Mumbai’s cyber cafes. This new monitoring software [2], CARMS (Cyber Access Remote Monitoring System), that Mumbai’s police are requiring the city’s 500 Internet cafes to install, “will capture every keystroke by users and turn that information over to the government — nearly in realtime by the sound of it,” said the Indian journalist Amit Varma [3].
