    did you even read the article? or even try to think out what it said? it's not much different than what's already there. The FBI already has the abilities the article talks about, and it still requires court approval before a wiretap can even happen. On top of that, the article states there were only 80 some wiretaps performed in CA during all of 2000. And California's a big state! #3 (maybe 4) in land area, #1 in population. Read first, use your own brain, then comment.
