Reply #3: Back in 1999, a friend of mine worked for Qwest communications

[file83]

in Phoenix. Long story short, his supervisor showed him HUGE fiber optic line bundles coming out of the switches that his supervisor told him were "government related". He asked his supervisor if they were data/phone lines, and he responded, "one way feeds". Ever since then, I've known that EVERYTHING is being recorded. Everything.

True story as it was told to me. The friend that told me didn't think it was that big of a deal. He totally trusts the government, and the way he told me the story, I could tell he thought it was "cool". It made him feel important.

What I didn't tell him is was how shocked I was.
