re: “All phones since 1990 are easily traced.”

These ppl have NO recollection of the CALEA Act which passed during Bill Clinton’s administration ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act

The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), also known as the “Digital Telephony Act,” is a United States wiretapping law passed in 1994, during the presidency of Bill Clinton (Pub. L. No. 103-414, 108 Stat. 4279, codified at 47 USC 1001-1010).

CALEA’s purpose is to enhance the ability of law enforcement agencies to conduct lawful interception of communication by requiring that telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment modify and design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have built-in capabilities for targeted surveillance, allowing federal agencies to selectively wiretap any telephone traffic; it has since been extended to cover broadband Internet and VoIP traffic. Some government agencies argue that it covers mass surveillance of communications rather than just tapping specific lines and that not all CALEA-based access requires a warrant.
