Any telecom fag could have simply told you this. The govt had been spying on ppl's "phone" conversations since the ww2.
This is so not new news as to be laughable. However once things went digital and wireless and storable is the start where it gets bad.
Still remember the amusing story of busting a corrupt nigger politician on a cell phone back when you could listen to conversations with a scanner. IIRC she was pissed off but caught red handed.
