Subject: Is the FBI using email Web bugs?

Yes they are, according to this post on slashdot:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=91830&cid=7902884

The poster appearently asked the reporter and the reporter said that it 
was commonly called a "Webbug" but he was using the terminology in the 
goverment search warrent.
