CALEA is not a time machine.  When an order is received, the "collection  
agency" starts receiving traffic; nothing (or at most, very little) is  
known prior to the wiretap order.  Put another way, you cannot be ordered  
to produce tapes of phone call that happened a month ago. (CALEA only says  
you must have the ability to monitor anyone; not that you must be  
monitoring everyone to have "stuff" available before being asked for it.)

With CALEA, you're innocent until there's a reason to think otherwise.   
With the RIAA/MPAA/et.al., we're all guilty, all the time, so everything  
should be monitored until they get around to suing, err, extorting us.
