Sounds fine to me; We have to keep our law enforcement departments up to date with technology. I would gladly trade my privacy in silly conversations for the safety of a secured America. The only people who don't like this stuff are people who have something to hide.

That's nice for you, but I wouldn't trade my privacy in silly conversations for the (illusion of) safety in America. Neither would a lot of other people. The problem is, you can't just trade your privacy by endorsing wiretaps. You're trading everyone's privacy. Perhaps you'd like to write a letter allowing the government to listen to all the conversations they want, read your emails, and rifle through your files, but don't speak for the rest of the country.

Yeah, this is basically the exact reason why we're working on this book. Because there are SOOOoooooo many tutorials and atricles about doing specific things, and yet no one has documented a general approach.

Thanks for the links, will be traversing these for general ideas and assimilation ;)
