There's an interesting circular argument forming here. It is said that
listening in on cordless phones isn't illegal (and police don't need a
warrant to do it) because it's so easy; i.e., there is no "reasonable
expectation of privacy". But if listening in on a common carrier's trunks is
almost as easy, then why should their customers have any greater
"expectation of privacy"?
