I think cell phone transmissions are more difficult to filter through,
simply because of the whole voice->text issue. But I've heard that they
have the voice prints of many terrorists, etc. They also take
particular interest in phone calls made to/from places of interest, like
Pakistan/Afghanistan, etc. But as far as emails go, thats a much easier
problem. Dan Brown, the author of "The DaVinci Code" mentions in the
book "Digital Fortress" that one of his students at Exeter Academy in
New Hampshire was busted by the FBI for sending an email to another
student about how easy it would be to kill Clinton. Not actually
threatening mind you.

They may, and it is certainly possible, be set up to intercept and copy
every cel-phone transmission made. But the simply do not have the people
to browse through all that. If they have some reason to monitor a
particular number it is no problem, but they can not do that for all the
billions of cel-phone calls made everyday. Also if you are using a
cel-phone for nefarious reasons it is kind of simple to have a bunch of
SIM cards to keep changing your phone number which makes it even more
difficult for the authorities to monitor your calls.

The funny thing about all this is if I were a spy, or a pervert
today, I would us a camera/phone. No one would pay any attention to
me. I could sent the photos off to a safe place, and erase them from
the phone before anyone accosted me.
Is that what the police and security people look for, no they see
someone using a serious looking camera and they are all over them. As
if a spy would use something like that out in the open. From inside a
van with a tiny opening to shoot through, maybe? Or from inside a
room across the street, maybe? But out in the open? No effing way!
I could set my Oly up so I can reformat the CF card with two button
presses. My paranoia is telling me that might be a great idea. "See,
officer, I have only been looking through the viewfinder, not
actually taking pictures..."
