Privacy, what privacy? Under the various regulations and laws
spouting from both this country and the EEC there is no such thing
as privacy now - George Orwell's 1984 has arrived! (It was a bright
cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.)

All private telephone calls, e-mails and internet traffic is now
intercepted

Don't be stupid.

MBQ,

I really would suggest that you look up the information on a little program
called Echelon. This was developed in the USA and is now used widely in
Europe and this country to eavesdrop on *all* methods of electronic and tele
communications, which are then stored for up to a year at the moment
(generally not the text of the message, but certainly any information that
can trace that call right back to you and any assignation that you want
hidden from the 'other half')

There's a difference between logging the fact of a communication and
"intercepting" it.
