I'd like to add my own brief CALEA comments and concerns. Out of respect

The best stratergy to take towards CALEA is to get familiar and get

we're ahead of the game.
Think positive!

Enough with the analogies.
CALEA is law - not once but twice - 1934 and 1996.
Courts have upheld the FCC decision on what CALEA covers.
The same laws that give the DOJ the right to wiretap, gives the FCC the
right to create guidelines.
