 The FBI would receive $61.8 million and 201 more employees or contractors
 to support the agency's "surveillance capabilities to collect evidence and
 intelligence," the DOJ said in a statement on Monday afternoon. That would
 allow the FBI to devote more resources than ever to controversial spy
 technologies like Carnivore, keyboard logging devices, and Magic Lantern.
 
 Included in that figure is: $5.6 million to expand an unnamed FBI "data
 collection facility," $32 million and 194 positions devoted to intelligence and
 information gathering, $10.9 million for expanded electronic surveillance,
 $11.3 million for an "Electronic Surveillance Data Management System," and
 $2 million for the Special Operations Group's intelligence and surveillance
 operations.
 
 In addition, the FBI would receive $157.6 million to upgrade and enhance its
 computer systems.
 
 The FBI's National Infrastructure Protection and Computer Intrusion Program
 would get $21 million and 138 new hires, including 81 agents. The purpose:
 To respond to "cyber-attacks" and investigate electronic intrusions.
 
 To handle the expected increase in wiretaps, especially ones approved by
 the shadowy Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, the Department of
 Justice itself would get a boost. The budget anticipates hiring another 10
 wiretap-specialist attorneys at a cost of $2 million.
