Hey, as long as they have a valid warrant and lawfully execute that
warrant, I don't see what the problem is. It"s not like the police don't
already have wiretap authority. Besides, I'm not even sure I understand
the issue; what's the argument? They can already tap phone lines and they
can already tap your ISP. Unless there's some magic VOIP I don't know
about that uses subspace technology to convey packets then you're using a
phone line &/or passing through an ISP...

And if anyone is really that worried, then may I present:
