Phill Actually I'd love to see this go to court & have the law itself tossed out. How many years have the airwaves been free? Now it is illegal to listen on the cellular frequencies.

The concept that a corporation or individual transmitting information meant for receiption at 'significant' distances should be accorded the presumption of privacy is analogous that a person shouting out their window to a person on the street and assuming that insisting neighbors be required to turn a bind ear. However, since the government has pressed the point, couldn't one use this same logic to claim that since face-to-face conversations are assumed to be private that wire taps are illegal. I seem to recall that Chief Justice Brandice made this argument in the late '20s. Look where we are today. --Steve
