13. You think they can't tap Putin's phone?

Lots of ways to illegally tap phone conversations. You remember the Infrared Laser beam bounced off of Secretary of Defense office window? Are we to believe that Voice Scramblers have been available and in use by security people for years but they are never needed? As a practical matter the bulk of phone calls go thru certain hubs. Those like e-mail servers can be illegally taped. Which allows for an amazing amount of data to be electronically searched. Now while listening to 50,000 simultaneous phone calls discerning which one is about a mole in the Pentagon or someone planning to Bomb a Marathon is a challenge.

By the way how many foreign intelligence services are probably also listening in around key hubs in New York or DC?
