The Feds

Currently the Feds do not have any resources devoted solely to AS interdiction. The DEA has higher priorities right now such as meth, cocaine & XTC. The Federal Government does not view AS as a serious threat to the establishment and therefore will not allocate any permanent funding or resources like they did in the early 90's the the heals of the Anabolic Steriod Act and when this was a hot issue with the American public. If steroids should start to receive allot of negative publicity than you can expect a greater enforcement effort. So let’s hope the TV news Documentaries leave it alone for a while. Much of our governments drugs enforcement policy is directed by public opinion.
The "war" against drugs is total shit.
$150 billion a year to make some people feel just a little bit better. Its totally not worth it. When you consider that much of it is against marijuana & AAS, you realize how futile this "war" is. People are going to do what they want in general. Not all illegal drugs should be legalized, but marijuana/hash should most likely be. They are talking about legalizing Ecstasy in medical cases (like marijuana). I see marijuana getting legalized in the next 5-10 years, faster if a new surge of users or breakthrough happens. You could check out www.legalize.com for stuff about that.
As for your question about feds, they usually only go after big fish, or occasionally a smaller fish to help get the big ones. Casual/small time dealers/users are usually caught by local police b/c they are ratted out or unlucky.

One file I recently read deals with a hacker, Agent Steal, and how his federal prison stay was. Although it deals with his experiences which are mostly for computer crime, it is a must-read file for anyone who is involved in anything which could be considered on the "wrong" side of the law. Here is the text:

They've got programs and people that could do anything. I would bet that encrypted email is pretty basic for them.

he is absolutly right, current legal encryption is 128 bit, which carnivore can see through like glass
Carnivore/DCS1000 is an electronic "wiretapping" tool, currently in use by the FBI.
Details of how the system works are short on specifics. What is known is that Carnivore/DCS1000 would be installed at the suspect's Internet service provider to scan all incoming and outgoing emails--including sender and recipient addresses as well as subject lines--for messages related to a criminal probe. And while the system, a sophisticated combination of hardware and proprietary software, can perform fine-tuned searches, it is also capable of broad sweeps, potentially enabling the agency to keep tabs on all of the network's communications.
