Clinton has nothing to do with unauthorized listening to phone calls. You may remember 2-3 year old scandal with telcos helping to monitor phone conversations without court orders on Bush orders and then Congress protecting them retroactively from liability for breaking law and responding to multiple lawsuits. People swallowed it. This what I am wondering about. Where are we going?

Actually yes, no court ordered needed anymore. bill clinton signed a bill that would enable those (government) the right to listen in on any phone call. The fact of the matter is, law has deficated on our right to enjoy privacy. So with the progress of technology also comes with those (hackers & theifs) who would love nothing more to do, then corrupt or destory networks and steal money. Race has no issue in this issue so who ever made the first post should walk off a high rise building.

Firstly, police do not have the power to listen to phone calls without a court order! Secondly, how would they know what race you are? Even if your SIM is registered, registration information doesn't include race! The topic here is whether this technology is a breach of privacy or a useful security tool. Stop stirring the pot with made-up accusations of technology being used for racism.

And all that violates the human right, and anyone of us or our children may bee victims to such officials who use their official property and power for their private behavior xenophobia for discrimination, so people must watch out for this corrupt law enforcement guys who abuse official property and power for their personal psychic problems.

Point taken man... I still maintain that just because the power exists, doesnt automatically result in a violation of rights. About your point though, governments seem only to be judged on their mistakes and not success. Or more often on the former and less on the latter. One need only look to a government like zimbabwe to see what a government looks like if it acts completely arbitrarily. Even the eu acts more reasonably and not arbitrarily all the time. Or else there would be a complete break down in the government. But good point though, my argument made as if governments were completely reasonable and not arbitrary.

Most of the time "the guys in law enforcement" don't even inform victim about accusation, but just imprisonment and deportation, no way appeal back about the case unreal justice, because they don't bring them to justice at all, because after the Dublin treaty law have been established for emigration in EU!
And all that, because of stupid jock on the phone or stupid jock to "unknown friend".
Well enough of this, but the guys in law enforcement they spy people how they have sex, when she or he is going out, so they can park their car near by, and watch her buddy walking down the street and they play with their little man, or watch him and his little man...!!!

Actually it doesnt. It would only be a violation if such invasion of our right to privacy occured without reason. Sending a joke with the word terrorism in it would not be a reasonable ground. They would obviously read the whole thing if the sms contained a key word or alarm word before tapping your line to ensure that it was serious or not. Government's do not act arbitrarily and they wouldnt be wasting there time tracing you and wasting much needed man power and resources over a joke. Be realistic.

Sometime a go wife call here man on the GSM telling him to bay two white bred, and he anyway forgot to bay it, he come back at home, and "they" are there already surrounding his house, and arrested him for two kg cocaine "missing in action", they have recorded on tape, but he have nothing to prove innocence and neither guilty, but they still keep him in arrest, so i hope you people have understand wot i em talking about, be careful wot you talking on the phone.

Personally I'm glad. I have nothing to hide, and don't for a second think my daily calls will be of interest to any listening ears.
But if this technology can be properly used against people who do use phones...
