Mr Barrett could more properly be refered to as Professor Barrett or Dr. Barrett. "Hacker" sounds so much more dramatic than "highly qualified and experienced software development and security expert". Professor doesn't match "hacker", so we get Mr. instead.
Journalistic spin.
There is a Federal law relating to Privacy of Communication. It is illegal for "The Phone Company" or it's personnel to even state that a call occured without consent of both parties or an appropriate court order.
