Re: Kallstrom Calls All Calls Tappable

James Kallstrom, assistant FBI director in charge of the New York field division, argues that the proposal would in fact reduce the FBI's surveillance authority. "Today ... we could tap all the phones in the United States," he said, referring to older, pre-digital technology. Under the plan, the FBI's surveillance ability would shrink to a maximum of 1 percent of simultaneous telephone calls from any one telephone switch, he said.

Doublespeak. 2 legs good 4 legs better.
