It's a heck of a lot more simple than that and it's not only the U.S. Government that can 'tap' your calls at will.

Hello--
"Distributing the Future" this week features a scoop we thought was worth sharing:
Wiretapping doesn't require someone lurking in the bushes with a directional antenna and headphones, or a pair of aligator clips and a tape recorder, or someone sneaking into your room while you're out to place a transmitter on your phone. In the U.S., if it's the government doing the wiretapping, it's technically simple. At the O'Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference Jack Herrington, author of "Podcasting Hacks" interviewed Electronic Frontier Foundation Chairman of the Board Brad Templeton about the technical, social, and political aspects of wiretapping. At the end there's a nice juicy hint about upcoming action from the EFF with regards to the recent NSA wiretapping case. http://www.oreillynet.com/future
