FBI wants to wiretap phones without court order

Posted by sengan on Monday October 12, 1998 @11:41AM from the time-to-speak-out dept.

Tino Dai wrote to tell us that a bill has been added by a House/Senate Conference Committee giving the FBI sweeping powers of wiretapping without court approval for any home, business, or other dwellings. Note that Congress explicitely voted against this. Speak up before the Senate approves this bill, or forever hold your peace.
