Have they asked No-Such-Agency? No-Such-Agency typically taps communication lines by "back-hoe accident" of some sort on the path they are interested in tapping.

I guess this time is taking longer than expected so they FBI has been recruited to prevent the victim from completing repairs to quickly.
