I know, and for this point I (IMHO) consider your work as verifiable, 
without the necessity to take into account the Gödel's theorems (sorry
if it wasn't clear from the first post).

 this is but a tame example of fiscal absurdity related to interception
 infrastructure; it is big business and truth is stranger than fiction!


lawful intercept*, at any scale and jurisdiction, is a profit center.

for US intelligence community alone payments to private businesses
topped half a billion a year on average for the last three years.

* for sake of argument i'm considering this any agreement and
infrastructure which provides customer information (metadata or
content) from a business to the government for law enforcement or
intelligence purposes.  as we've also seen from these disclosures,
traditional lawful intercept compelled by statute (e.g. CALEA for
POTS) is a minuscule contributor to the overall flow of private
information to the government.

it's not lawful intercept if the government buys this data you
willing sell, it's data services ;)
