Bob, the listeners would find those conversations very suspect. Why
would be they listening if there was no threat? If there IS a threat and
of course there IS a threat because everybody knows there IS a threat,
and they can't find the damned threat it could only mean the threat is
so carefull hidden they aren't finding the clues they ought - since they
can't fail their cause, they will just keep listening until they find
the threat. Because there IS a threat.
When I moved to Fortaleza I had no local credit. Someday I needed a
suit, went into a store and they offered me credit - so I accepted. Form
filled, suit chosen and packed (those days I needed no custom fit), and
we wait. Then wait a little longer. Then my girlfriend and her daughter
start feeling bored, so I just call the salesdummy and ask why the delay.
She comes to me with a long face, saying my credit was turned down. I
say no big deal since I came to pay cash and any credit was their idea -
but now I want to know why my credit was granted then refused. She goes
back into the office, then returns with a patronizing smile: my phone
number was not correct, she said. The manager was trying to confirm my
phone number but there was no answer. I gave her my most endearing
smile, my girlfriend laughed, the sleeping project of brunette woke up
on my lap. Then I pointed to her - and to her manager who had stepped
out to see the racket, afraid of the big, bad, turned down client - the
reason they just lost a sale and some 20+ clients was very simple - we
were all there, and there was no one home to answer the phone an confirm it.

Had a discussion about IP surveillance with my colleagues, and one
mentioned that Sweden actually passed a very similar bill half a year
ago. Once mentioned, I remembered the uproar here in Norway too. Most
of our internet traffic (apart from a modest line via Spitsbergen to
USA) is routed through the Swedish infrastructure. So in practice,
their new legislation states a right to eavesdrop on all traffic from
Norway to the rest of the world...
On the other hand, I can't imagine there's much to fear. :-)
