Eagleville, PA | The FCC is just the messenger. Homeland Security is most likely the one pushing for the capability.

This a very clear cut issue of who the government views as the enemy....It's the American people.It's also quite clear the government is doing its very best to put the shackles of tyranny and enslave "we the people" .Homeland Security act,Patroit act,gun control,eminent domain,cameras on street corners.Highway "safety" checkpoints,warrantless search and seizures employed at these "checkpoints".No knock searches and the Patroit's Act "sneak and Peak".Now wire tapping voip, landlines, hardware with backdoors for the net.American Citizens WE are the enemy.

I hate to break it to everyone, but, you really need to work pretty hard to get the attention of these folks. All those mp3's and that AVI you downloaded will get you a bill from the RIAA, but they don't warrant (no pun intended) the massive expense and manpower required for an intercept.
If it makes everyone feel important to imagine that the black helicopters are circling because you donated $10 to the Hare Krishna at the airport, well, you just stick with that. |

| Actually, the whole point of CALEA is to decrease the "massive expense and manpower required for an intercept" by making the service providers do most of the work to quickly and securely establish surveillance with a court order.
CALEA or not on VoIP calls, government (mis)(ab)use of power is always an issue. I'd rather believe the three branches of the US government are there to help us, and that there are powerful checks and balances in place to keep it that way. The Constitutional amendment for unreasonable searches remains in place and every court will throw out evidence collected in that matter. |

Better take another look at the USAPATRIOTACT, BANK SECRECY ACT, FISA, the politicized courts, the over-reaching Justice Department, and the ignominious Homeland Security Department before you toddle off to dreamland without your tinfoil hat on these days. |
