Finaly! Bravo! Many years ago I was shown a facility near Quantico, Virgina wherein US military personel and assumed FBI?CIA people were tapping into phones all over, up and down the east coast and all the transatlantic cables; some were specified targets; many were random sweeps as they upgraded and increased their ranges...your "Rights"?
