It's not an Area 51 topic of discussion. It's neither elitist nor unethical to talk about it. This stuff has been common knowledge forever. There are tons of people that have worked with the FBI at the Telco's; and tons of vendors selling hardware and helping configure it for the divine governmental purposes of wiretapping. It's a constitutional issue first and a national security issue second. Those are only some of the reasons people are so heated about all of this. Consider too the effects of 911 and the fact that the average numbers of these warrant requests in the late 80's were 200-300 per year and are now thousands per year.
