I don't think that's true. As far as I know, anyone can listen to
anything they want, but according to the secrecy of communications
part of the Communications Act of 1934 it IS a crime to divulge the
contents or existance of any electronics communications to a third
party or make commercial use of same if you are not a party to the
communications (unless the communications was transmitted by
a broadcaster, amateur, CBer or someone in distress).
