Speak softly...the FBI may be listening

Speak softly...the FBI may be listening - Computerworld Blogs: "It just became much, much easier for the FBI to tap your Internet connection or listen in on your VoIP call. This past Monday was the deadline for all ISPs, VoIP providers, and some universities to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).

CALEA requires that 'telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment modify and design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have the necessary surveillance capabilities.'

In other words, they have to provide an easy way for the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to be able to tap your Internet connection, phone, VoIP call, and more."
