Prosecutors are using the FBI's massive surveillance system, DCSNet, which stands for Digital Collection System Network. According to Wired magazine, this system connects FBI wiretapping rooms to switches controlled by traditional land-line operators, internet-telephony providers and cellular companies. It can be used to instantly wiretap almost any communications device in the U.S. — wireless or tethered. http://www.wallstreetandtech.com/blog/archives/2009/10/how_prosecutors.h tml;jsessionid=ABTR4HPERGBDFQE1GHPCKHWATMY32JVNOf course, without a warrant they can't wiretap anything.
Really? Do tell. Hope your sarcasm meter is pegged here.
 Furthermore every warrant to wiretap has to be accompanied by evidence that justifies the warrant and signed by a federal judge who agrees that there is sufficient cause for the wiretap, and illegal wiretaps will not only get your case thrown out of court but your butt thrown in jail as well.
Except when it doesn't.
But other than that, it's really troubling....
As it should be. I don't trust Feds as far as I can spit when it comes to this sort of stuff. Kurt _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
