I think we're talking about legal wiretaps, e.g. a law enforcement agency with a court order. The problem is if you can easily fool the system, the evidence is possibly unreliable and/or tainted. However, even if you can temporarily "fool" the law enforcement agency in question, it's doubtful this would keep you out of trouble for long.
If law enforcement is involved in a wiretap, that means they dont have enough evidence to convict you. Even if they do have enough evidence to convict you, they have yet to do so, or you wouldn't be on the phone. This means they are snooping on innocent civilians by providing circumstantial evidence to a judge (or, since the "Provide Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" act, they may not even need a warrant) Either way, this is a bad tangent to go off on. That was a great study done, and shouldn't be trivialized by my ramblings. Does anyone know of a C-Tone for GPS devices? ;-) -JP _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
