What is this scary beast called Echelon ?

Answer: The infamous Echelon spy network is a global satellite system set up to monitor your every electronic move. Every telephone call, fax or email you send is allegedly saved by Echelon is a spy network which dramatically, illegally infringes on all of your rights to privacy.

There is a wealth of information on Echelon all over the web. Why not check out what the British BBC has to say about it, otherwise see the other 12000 links courtesy of Google.

Fortunately Project SCIM software completely encrypts all of your messages. Even if this spy network is monitoring you, it will probably never be able to decypher your messages and peer into your private life.

Okay, I'm convinced...let me download it.
