"Distributing the Future" this week features a scoop we thought was worth sharing: Wiretapping doesn't require someone lurking in the bushes with a directional antenna and headphones, or a pair of aligator clips and a tape recorder, or someone sneaking into your room while you're out to place a transmitter on your phone. In the U.S., if it's the government doing the wiretapping, it's technically simple. At the O'Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference Jack Herrington, author of "Podcasting Hacks" interviewed Electronic Frontier Foundation Chairman of the Board Brad Templeton about the technical, social, and political aspects of wiretapping. At the end there's a nice juicy hint about upcoming action from the EFF with regards to the recent NSA wiretapping case. http://www.oreillynet.com/future --Marsee ================================================================ O'Reilly 1005 Gravenstein Highway North Sebastopol, CA 95472 http://ug.oreilly.com/ http://www.oreilly.com ================================================================ -- Neil Schneider pacneil_at_linuxgeek_dot_net http://www.paccomp.com Key fingerprint = 67F0 E493 FCC0 0A8C 769B 8209 32D7 1DB1 8460 C47D "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
