From Damien Thorn's 'A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS PRIMER' (at http://www.l0pht.com/~drwho/cell/texts/thorn1192.txt)
To calm fears that cellular calls were not private, the cellular industry lobbied congress into passing legislation known today as the Electronic Communication Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986 which makes it a crime to monitor cellular phone calls and a host of other transmissions like digital pagers. This law is used by cellular equipment dealers and service providers to reassure customers that their conversations will remain private.
