Sad really. They simply rename wire tapping 'interception' and there go your rights to privacy. Reminds me of the OWS protests. It's right there in black and white in our Constitution, the right to free assembly, but in reality, that constitutional right is being undone by mere local ordinances.

"I'm sorry sir, is that a Bunsen burner I see there heating those beans? EVERYBODY OUT OF THE PARK!!!"

Where is the accountability? It does not exist. These corps (and our govt) just push the envelope as far as they can, then go 10 steps further for good measure. And the penalties and fines, if they ever materialize at all, are just an insignificant cost of doing business.
