 3:00 a.m. 21.Jan.2000 PST WASHINGTON -- US privacy groups
 have asked an appeals court to overturn federal regulations that they
 say will let cops track Web browsing and email without a warrant.
 
 The civil liberties organizations say the US Circuit Court of Appeals
 for the District of Columbia should unceremoniously trash the privacy-
 invading rules drafted by the Federal Communications Commission.
 
 ..
 In a 35-page brief filed Thursday, the groups said that the FCC's
 August 1999 response to a 1994 wiretap law goes too far, giving
 police too much surveillance authority and the ability to track mobile
 phone customers.
 
 "They want to get as much information as they can, even though it's
 not explicitly stated in the law," says Deborah Pierce, an attorney for
 the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
 
 The legal tussle involves a debate only a lawyer could love: how easy
 it should be to spy on different types of communications, such as the
 numbers dialed as part of a phone call rather than the conversation
 itself.
 
 The Justice Department, which is defending the lawsuit on behalf of
 the FCC, says that packet communications, such as the Internet,
 should be open for police eavesdropping.
