good catch pale, i realy loved this qoute "When you build a system to spy on yourself, you entail an awesome risk." that just goes to show that they realy dont think these things through. if hackers can hack the pentagon and the dod as has been shown on sevral occasions do they realy belive this is haker proof?. as a ex fone phreak i know how easy it is to intercept calls and all this program does is set up all ythe lines in one area for ease of use.

I think anything that circumvents or otherwise cuts back on our Constitutional rights and civil liberties is aiding terrorism everywhere.

the big problem with a homegrown movement is you cant do it on a scale big enough to deal out real damage. its suicidal at best i wont repost my thoughts on why it wont work unless im asked. but its safe to say that the way things are set up now a uprising is damn near impossible.

So much for safety and security. As a matter of fact, I saw something related earlier on a show on the Science Channel. They had a person with a cell phone take off, and a man with a simple laptop computer and "over-the-counter" software found this person's cell number and traced them to a building, then connected to their phone number, and could listen into conversations being had on that phone.

To me anyway, the privacy that we thought we had was only a dream. If any mediocre hacker / script-kiddie can just purchase a program and get my private conversations, then nothing is sacred anymore.

That brings up another question: What's the government doing pumping all of this money into private surveillance if they can do it so easily and cheaply as this? Ahh well, that's a topic for another thread.
