* The GSA opposed CALEA [FBI code name: "Operation Root Canal"], stating
* "the proposed bill would have to have the FCC or other agency approve or
* reject equipment mainly on the basis of whether the FBI had the capacity
* to wiretap it. The GSA further stated this would weaken security." [40]
The FBI and Military are EXEMPT from any Key Recovery crypto requirements,
BECAUSE IT WOULD SERIOUSLY WEAKEN NATIONAL SECURITY.
CALEA even directs cable TV companies to restructure themselves for spying.
What??? Why does the government want to see traffic BEFORE it reaches the
Internet or public telephone networks?
CALEA will give the FBI "legal" domestic listening posts.
