This would eliminate the public's ability to learn interesting and important facts like those published here (also by Mr McCullagh): http://speakout.com/activism/opinions/4377-1.html. For example, "According to government statistics, in 1998 police intercepted 2,313,210 conversations but the taps -- 71% were for drug-related crimes -- resulted in only 911 convictions." Was that a reasonable trade-off between security and freedom? And how else can we, the people, make such judgments without having facts like these? -- Hugh D.
