I found these paragraphs in a recent Space News interesting. They were at the end of an article titled "Military Officials Open To Using ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Civilian Links" in the July 3rd issue.
[...] "Iridium, Globalstar, Inmarsat-P and Odyssey all plan to include features to permit authorized eavesdropping, officials said. ^^^^^^^^^^
Did you miss this word? While I suspect that you don't like Title III wiretaps, they are legal at present. The above contemplates legal wiretaps on some phone service that might otherwise be outside the reach of legal wiretaps.
Hmm. Anyone here ever heard of the Walkers, or the Rosenbergs? > It's a pity that the military has decided that in its zeal to listen in on phone calls, that national security is an expendable asset.
The military is not authorized to listen in to any phone calls they want to hear. Otherwise, everyone on the list, including me, would probably be in some hidden military prison. :-) for the humor-impaired.
It looks like the Chinese or Russian Armies won't be any better by the time they're occupying us, unfortunately.
(The really awful part is that what friends I have that are current or past U.S. military don't want to die, AFAIK).
