OT: Re: Why the police are listening to your calls and why Congress won't stop them

[George Toft]

I love how the media blames the law for not keeping up with technology.  
If the law said "Thou shalt not monitor citizen's communications except 
with a warrant signed by a judge accompanied by articulate probable 
cause" it wouldn't matter about the tech used - monitoring, whether by 
tapping a wire, or MitM cell tower attacks is still monitoring.  The 
problem is the law is purposely written to be obsolete, which ensures 
the law makers have a job in the future.
