challenging these laws in the weak spots could be a very devastating means of defying law enforcement claims that they only want to "preserve the status quo" and want "no new authorities to wiretap". could wiretapping be "nipped in the bud" somehow? there is tremendous economic incentive for laywers to challenge things like patents etc, but this same incentive doesn't seem to exist in challenging wiretap rules. hence I wonder if they have been challenged to the same extent that other court decisions have been.
[more text deleted] Do prior comments about wholesale non-compliance on the part of the public apply here as it did on, say, the 55-mph speed limit? How about total non-compliance on the part of the public regarding sex laws (those which said you couldn't do such-and-such in your own bedroom with your partner/spouse, etc.)?
