This is no big deal when you think about how all telecommunication switches have been manufactured with a built in taping device. It is no big secret that the government can listen in to every phone call made from anywhere on the planet to another. They have access to every telecommunication companies switch's with the companies knowledge. If you don't know what a switch is I'll tell you. A switch is a device that hold information on all phone #'s in it and has a connection to every other switch in the globe thru other switches. When you make a phone call from you house you get dial tone from a switch. When you punch in the # you want to call the switch makes a connection from it's self to the switch that holds the # you are calling. Do you have caller ID? If so as a telecommunication employee I can turn that on and off you in the switch with your #. The government can tap in thru a monitor port in the switch without you knowing. There is not even a way for you to find out if they are taping you. Don't think those devices you can hook up to your phone line can detect it. They can't. This is not what you have seen in moves where a tech hooks up alligator clips to a connection box. This type of taping is completely undetectable. The same is true for the internet since the connections to the web are thru phone lines. And again there is no easy out like "I have a cable or satellite modem". Your cable or satellite company has it's own connection to the internet thru guess what? A switch. I believe if you do a little research you will find that in the late 80's or early 90's the French government advised the world that the USA's NSA has the capability to listen to every call made in the world. The NSA does not have the most powerful computer on the planet with out a reason.

Do a little more research and you'll find out the NSA doesn't have the most powerful computer on the planet. What they do have is people inside the crypto shops that planted hardwired private keys that ensured NSA could decrypt anything they deemed necessary. The absence of security is not because of incompetent cryptographic algorithms. The backdoors are placed there intentionally.
