Subject: Shut Off Notice To The FBI

It seems that it is ok for the FBI to wiretap people without a warrant but they can't do it if they don't pay the bill.

That just made me grin from ear to ear. Even the FBI must pay their phone bill. :)

"To put it bluntly, it sounds as though the telecoms believe it when the FBI says the warrant is in the mail but not when they say the check is in the mail."
To put it more bluntly, nobody believes the line "the check is in the mail".
Interesting article, Catwoman.

Looks like that debt is finally catching up to the US government. Not as untouchable as they thought eh? Serves the sons of bitches right.
