If law enforcement is involved in a wiretap, that means they dont have
enough evidence to convict you. Even if they do have enough evidence
to convict you, they have yet to do so, or you wouldn't be on the
phone. This means they are snooping on innocent civilians by providing
circumstantial evidence to a judge (or, since the "Provide Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" act, they may not
even need a warrant)

Either way, this is a bad tangent to go off on. That was a great study
done, and shouldn't be trivialized by my ramblings.

Does anyone know of a C-Tone for GPS devices? ;-)
