Unicorn's response was inadvertently hilarious. He says that wiretapping is "firmly entrenched" in law-enforcement, but the truth is that it was "firmly entrenched" long before it was even legal!
Yep, seems right to me. While I share some part of your position on the undesirability of wiretapping, Uni's remarks about it being "firmly entrenched" in the minds of L.E. and Capitol Hill are quite on-target. Few here in DC believe in an absolute right to privacy. -Declan // declan@eff.org // I do not represent the EFF // declan@well.com //
