    Your premise is flawed. There is quite a bit of outrage against phone taps. Just a few from /.:

    FCC Makes Wiretapping Easier for Cops

    FBI wants to wiretap phones without court order

    ACLU & EPIC Challenge Wiretapping

    There was a story last year about hundreds of convinctions in LA that need to be reviewed because defendants were never told that evidence came from illegal wiretaps. The latimes.com article has expired, but here's an archive from the IP list.

    Not to mention the historic abuses of the FBI against people like Martin Luther King, Jr. King didn't do anything illegal, but the wiretaps did catch him having an affair. An anonymous FBI agent urged King to commit suicide to avoid exposure.

    You can't say "it can't happen here". It *did* happen here. Just don't let it happen again.
