An anonymous reader writes "Wired reports that the FBI has sought approval to use its custom spyware program, the CIPAV, from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in terrorism or spying investigations. Affidavits prepared for the FISA court are among 3,000 pages of documents gathered, but not yet released, in response to a FOIA request from Wired. The FBI hasn't answered any questions about its use of the CIPAV since the program's existence became known in July. The FISA court is generally regarded as a rubber stamp: it approved over 4,000 surveillance requests in 2005 and 2006, rejecting none."
