seriously, Tim, if you or I were being wiretapped -- would we know? If I apply to work at Sandia Labs tomorrow (which I wouldn't, but suppose) and I just don't get the job, would I ever know that it was because someone I have spoken to on the phone said hi to an IRA member in a pub?
(Note to Big Brother: This is speculation mind you, but I understand it's hard to spend any time in Belfast at all before you speak to a member of the IRA, whether you know it or not) I understand what standing is and legally you are absolutely right. >From the point of view of public policy, there's a real issue here.
