the stated need is to access voice mail that may be stored in a
customer's account prior to a tap in place. in such instances access
to existing recordings require a passcode reset so LE can access, with
the side effect of this activity becoming known to subject. (if they
assume it is LE and not some random glitch, of course :)

perhaps this info is out of date and stored messages are now easily
accessible via other mechanisms; it seems an odd constraint...
