What rock did you just crawl out from under?  The Reagan Administration isn't
responsible for the ECPA.  It was created and pushed by the cellular telephone
industry and passed by congress before ever getting to the white house.
Granted, Reagan should have vetoed it, but failing to override the foolishness
of our elected senators and representatives doesn't make it oppressive
behavior on the part of the administration.
