"AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Comcast, and Sprint declined to comment. A government source familiar with the port reader software said it is not used on an industry-wide basis, and only in situations where carriers' own wiretap compliance technology is insufficient to provide agents with what they are seeking."

Um... NO. If the FBI can violate the Constitution, so can we. NSA and FBI better stop this crap before we get tired of putting up with it and put a stop to it HARD.
Tired of my Rights being infringed upon.

The point isn't that they can do it.
The point is they want us to KNOW they are doing it.
Rather than have to actively control each and every one of us one-on-one, they want to induce FEAR and let us self-censor and control ourselves.
Induce FEAR to influence behavior.
Isn't that the very definition of TERRORISM?

If PRISM the NSA software can log keystrokes without installing a trojan on my system....why would the fbi want anything more?? (1) The mentality that "More control = better",
(2) The FBI as a bureaucracy wants to ensure its own survival; having NSA's PRISM be found Kosher means it will move into more legitimate/mundane prosecutions, this will, in turn, cause the FBI to lose much relevance and open it to being reduced in size or eliminated altogether,
(3) Professional envy; the FBI might just want in on the action just because.
And it could be combinations of the three.

When will the CEO's of major private corporations such as trading, banking, investing, oil, consumer goods, etc., rise up and protest this?
It's the private industry that provides the economic engine that is taxed to pay for the government.
What would happen if they all rise up and say "No?"

Why in the world would they do that? These are the same people that pay congress to pass legislation favorable to them. They own the government, especially the bankers. They don’t care about you or your family except as a rancher cares about his herd. Just shut up and keep working.
