Overview: CALEA is the bill which tries to force telephone infrastructure
companies to install equipment which provides the FBI remote desktop
wiretapping capability for 1% of all USA phonecalls. That's an awful lot of
calls... the kind of volume one needs for a priori suspicion and expert
system monitoring. Privacy people fight it for obvious reasons. Telephone
companies fight it because it only gave them $500 million and that's far
from their cost to install Big Brother into every switch. Updates will
doubtless eventually arrive, though I couldn't detect anything new in
usenet or web... or on the nytimes web site. -hedges-
