Re: Newt's phone calls

Eavesdropping on cellphones is illegal, since there's an expectation of privacy.

Ummm, Eavesdropping on cellphones is illegal, because it's illegal. See the Electronic Communication Privacy Act (ECPA). Since when does anybody talking on a *radio* have an expectation of privacy? Listening in on normal cordless phones is also now illegal, as a result of the Communication Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (Digital Telephony). Recall that the early working name for Digital Telephony was "The Digital Telephony and Privacy Improvement Act of 19XX". Classic piece of double speak. The *privacy improvement* was the criminalization of radio reception. Eric
