ACORN Foe Charged in Sen. Phone Hack Plot
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/26/national/main6143826.shtml

A source tells CBS News that the aim was apparently to try to catch Sen. Landrieu talking negatively about her constituents.

A federal law enforcement official said one of the suspects was picked up in a car a couple of blocks away with a listening device that could pick up transmissions. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not part of an FBI affidavit that described the circumstances of the case.


My take: they may have been trying to plant a wireless listening device inside of her office instead of a wiretap on her phone line.

If they were trying to plant a wireless device, why pretend to be phone repairmen. Why not just come in as constituents?
