	RFC 981 (rfc981) - Experimental multiple-path routing algorithm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Wiretap uses passive monitoring of frames transmitted on the channel in order to build a dynamic data base which can be used to determine optimum routes.
		Note that Wiretap in effect constructs minimum-distance paths in the RFC 981 March 1986 An Experimental Multiple-Path Routing Algorithm direction from the destination station to the Wiretap station and, based on that information, then computes the optimum reciprocal routes from the Wiretap station to the destination station.
		V (0) wiretap RFC 981 March 1986 An Experimental Multiple-Path Routing Algorithm Presumably, the fact that the header was heard from station 2 indicates the path from station 4 to station 2 and then to station 0 is viable, so that each link along this path can be marked "heard" in that direction.

	Telephone tapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Telephone tapping or wire tapping/ wiretapping (in US) is the monitoring of telephone conversations by a third party, often by covert means.
		In the United States, federal agencies may be authorized to engage in wiretaps by the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, a court with secret proceedings, in certain circumstances.
		The Administrative Office of the United States Courts reports annually to Congress the number and nature of federal and state wiretap applications, along with the number of times encryption was encountered (once in 2003).

		U.S. District Judge Walker Miller ruled that the FBI had not shown the legal "necessity'' of the wiretaps and ruled the evidence gathered by the wiretaps was inadmissible.
		A wiretap is considered the most intrusive of all investigative tools and is granted only after all other routine or normal investigative techniques have been exhausted.
		To obtain a wiretap, the investigative agency must prove to a judge that it has exhausted all normal investigative techniques, such as surveillance, using informants and undercover agents, making controlled buys of drugs, tailing suspects and even going through someone's trash.

	Summary of Wiretap Report by Perkins, Coie law firm (May 1, 2004)
		Wiretaps installed were in operation an average of 44 days per wiretap in 2003 compared to 39 days in 2002.
		One state jurisdiction reported that encryption was encountered in a wiretap terminated in 2003; however, the encryption was reported to have not prevented law enforcement officials from obtaining the plain text of communications intercepted.
		For federal wiretaps for which expenses were reported in 2003, the average cost was $71,625, a 5 percent decrease from the average cost in 2002.

		WireTap is a screen capture program for audio — so instead of taking a photo of the application you’re using, it records any audio that your Mac’s playing.
		There are all kinds of perfectly legitimate uses for WireTap, but we don’t think that will stop the record industry having a screaming fit.
		We like WireTap a lot: it’s elegantly designed and as the Ronseal Advert bloke might put it, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

	The Nature and Scope of Governmental Electronic Surveillance Activity
		While the wiretap laws establish important protections -- most notably requiring for interception of call content a judicial order based on a finding of probable cause -- in practice state and federal judges rarely deny applications for authority to conduct electronic surveillance.
		A useful summary, covering the years 1999 - 2000 and showing the increase in the use of wiretaps, is provided by Table 7, which is at http://www.uscourts.gov/wiretap00/table700.pdf.
		These figures do not include consensual wiretaps, bugs and body wires, where a crime victim, an informant or an undercover agent consents to the recording of a conversation to which he or she is a party.

		WireTap Pro is sort of the same way—it’s very unobtrusive while it is running, but there’s a lot going on behind the curtain.
		The only way to accomplish this from within WireTap Pro is to create and schedule a Recording Session for the length of the keynote broadcast (though an AppleScript to do timed recordings is available from the Ambrosia Software Web site.).
		WireTap Pro is still a 1.0 product, so there are understandably some places where it could be improved.

	Gilday v. DuBois
		The Langton panel majority first decided that the parties had relinquished their respective rights to litigate the meaning of the wiretap statutes underlying the injunction, and then determined that no authoritative decision, existing at the time the Langton injunction issued, specifically supported the challenged MITS monitoring and recording practices.
		For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that the DOC is entitled to litigate the meaning of the applicable wiretap statutes.
		Thus, implicit in the stance taken by Gilday now is the suggestion that the DOC defendants impliedly conceded prior violations of the relevant wiretap statutes simply by entering into the stipulation of dismissal, whereas the record flatly contradicts any such concession.

		This week's report says a total of 1,277 wiretaps took effect, with an average of 196 people and 1921 conversations intercepted.
		The total number of applications for wiretaps rose 2 percent, primarily due to drug investigations, according to the report.
		But the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office has identified thousands of illegal wiretaps that were not included in the reports, and civil libertarians suspect that unlawful police surveillance is a widespread practice.

		Wired.com reports that the actual number of authorized wiretaps is likely to be higher than reported, since U.S. Customs surveillance records were lost in the destruction of the World Trade Center.
		It is not clear whether the results of the wiretaps were lost, or whether merely the records from which the reporting would be done--which would skew the results of the annual wiretap reports.
		According to a new report by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the number of State and Federal requests for wiretaps and bugs increased 2 percent in 1999, to a total of 1,350.

		The FBI had also been lobbying Congress for expanded wiretap authority in the form of a "roving wiretap." A roving wiretap is where law enforcement taps any telephone used by or near to the suspect.
		Assuming this number then, the 1995 cost per wiretap was $416,666.67 based on the $500 million and was $1.25 million per wiretap based on the industry figure of $1.5 billion.
		Corporate wiretapping was dealt with by the FBI and courts extending the communication carrier definition and not buying the PBX exclusions in the early version of CALEA.

		In addition to enthusiasm for the Patriot Act, the FBI wiretap also turned up widespread support for further expanding the powers of the agency to peek into the lives of Americans in the interest of national security.
		According to the results of the wiretap, 73% of Americans believe that the FBI should have the authority to read the outside of mailed envelopes, a measure backed by President Bush.

	Feds seek wiretap access via VoIP \| CNET News.com
		In 2002, the most recent year for which information is available, police intercepted nearly 2.2 million conversations with court approval, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
		Wiretaps for that year cost taxpayers $69.5 million, and approximately 80 percent were related to drug investigations.
		It clearly requires "telecommunications carriers" to provide ready wiretapping access while explicitly exempting "information services." If the FCC decides CALEA does not apply, the debate would shift to Congress, which could decide to amend the law.

		The public was not told by Ashcroft that roving wiretaps had already become law in 1998, during the Clinton administration.

		Just a note - the description of WireTap is a little confusing; you can't use it to record just one program, which means that any other sounds will get recorded along with whatever music / DVD / whatever you're trying to save.
		It is true that WireTap doesn't include support for sound-altering plugins, but we didn't think most people wanted such a thing; they merely wanted to capture the audio that was playing.
		WireTap has its price going for it, and applescript support, but not much else.

	Pushing to wiretap 'push to talk' \| Tech News on ZDNet
		U.S. cell phone service providers are willing to wiretap "push to talk" phone calls, but only one has the technological capability to do so, according to sources familiar with the situation.
		In fact, the only carrier capable of wiretapping push-to-talk calls is Nextel Communications, which is using an earlier version of the technology.
		Verizon told the FCC on Wednesday that wiretapping laws should one day include push-to-talk services, exposing a rift between it and the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association, a cell phone trade group.
