I think that came up later in the thread. Let's face it, you can't stop the government snooping on you, if they really want to. Not unless you live in a sound proofed, and electrically isolated Faraday cage. If it proved hard to tap your phone, they'd simply bug the room. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
