I'm sorry if you don't share my view. Personally I think the Patriot 
Act is unconsitutional
and CALEA is a tool to enable the total invasion of privacy. I think
the laws need changed, I want to change. That said I will not break 
them and neither will you.

How would/does your company respond to NSLs or subpoenas? Do you comply 
with
FCC 499 requirements and with CALEA requirements? I do, and I'm betting 
you will to.

Does it suck? Yea of course it does but unless you have a better plan 
for a US based provider
I will keep doing what I'm doing.
