Nonsense. I kindly informed my teenage niece of the fact all her communications on her phone should be considered public, and the nature of Lawful Interception, and the tradeoffs she was opted into for the sakenof Law Enforcement's convenience.

She was not amused or empathetic to their plight in the slightest. Population of at least 2 I guess.

Make that population of 3. I'm not a fan either. But I'm also realistic. I treat the phone as what it is: malicious spyware. But I realize that most people want the convenience and the safety (of sorts) of dialing 911 and getting the right dispatch..
