What would I do if I had access to the FBI's Carnivore? I'd write a program to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. But I could like anyone to Kevin Bacon. For example, let's take Timmy, a twelve-year-old in Missouri:
* Timmy has hacked into the email account of the sales manager of a local car dealership, Peter Handat, and frequently brags about it to his friends.
* Peter just got an email from the wife of a prominent businessman (now deceased) in Nigeria seeking assistance in moving Thirteen and One Half Million Dollars ($13,500,000) from a Lagos bank account.
* This widow has had discussions with one Larry Apstein from Maryland who is now waiting to meet her in a hotel in London.
* Larry's bank account stands at $3,820.52, which is exactly the monthly paycheck of Susan Lanmoy of Los Angeles
* Susan is having a torrid affair with John Lounsman, also of Los Angeles. John thinks his wife doesn't know, but is sadly mistaken.
* John is Kevin Bacon's agent and has been trying to cast him in an insurance commercial.
And the cycle is complete...
