Patriot Act Wiretap Provisions Extended Four Years → Re: Federal Secrecy of Communication Act

Nothing new with Phone call monitoring. That always been do since the invention of the telephone and possible even the telegraph.

Throughout all of those years that we signed onto the "act" we were bound to never disclose the contents of a conversation or the fact that a conversation had ever taken place (when working in large switching centers you hear portions of conversations tens of times per day). Had to "keep the lips zipped" or the feds would be after you. Now the feds maintain nothing but record everything. The country is in the bucket. I give it four to eight years.
