Point, Click ... Eavesdrop: How the FBI Wiretap Net Operates

[Blackiechan76]

The FBI has quietly built a sophisticated, point-and-click surveillance system that performs instant wiretaps on almost any communications device, according to nearly a thousand pages of restricted documents newly released under the Freedom of Information Act.

The surveillance system, called DCSNet, for Digital Collection System Network, connects FBI wiretapping rooms to switches controlled by traditional land-line operators, internet-telephony providers and cellular companies. It is far more intricately woven into the nation's telecom infrastructure than observers suspected.

Heh cool.

The FBI is just a bunch of high-school gossip queens with guns.

It's just "Did you hear what she said?" in the adult world.
