>The problem is that anything that can be wiretapped, will be wiretapped. The solution to this problem is technological. I was against you the whole time until the point where you said >The laws around it need to simply state two things: (1) you cannot use anything you obtain without a proper warrant against the suspect and (2) you cannot prevent someone from using encryption. I wholeheartedly agree with (2). (1) needs further elaboration. Can you use what you've collected to get a "proper" warrant? Can you go on a fishing expedition to assassinate someone's public image? What protection will we have against that? I do not think this is a technological problem. I find it very scary how much leeway prosecution has in whether or not to press charges. It is also very sad to see the people who I'd consider on my side to cheer for the IRS to go after tea party groups.
