The “Break it Down” Blog

Forget illegal wiretapping (no seriously, forget it, because you have no say in the matter, so just shut up), Slashdot reports that the FBI have partnered with Sprint to create a fully encrypted US-wide network built from dark fiber lines (separate from the internet backbone) that controls wiretapping of any network based device with the click of a mouse.

How long would something like this take to build under a government contract on dark lines? 5 years at the least + rollout and beta testing? My guess, since it’s govt, is that it took longer. Chances are this project started in 2000 or earlier.

Who here had the illusion that we would have any say in any sort of wiretapping programs being stopped raise their hands?
