As unfortunate as the situation may be, wiretapping/spying/searching will probably always happen at high levels of government regardless of the law. I don't know of any way to stop it, or that it's even possible to see if it would subsequently have been stopped.

Right, but at least let's not do really stupid things like build-in wiretapping capability, or have "law enforcement keys" or something like that.

It would probably help to have decently encrypted telephone protocols, instead of merely outlawing listening devices.
