But "you would not want to trust anything sensitive to today's 802.11b" wireless LAN standard, said Maj. David A. Nash, an electrical engineering and computer sciences instructor for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The Army has a moratorium on wireless LAN use, said Lt. Col. Daniel Ragsdale, director of the department's information technology and operations center. =========================================================================== Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rules Individuals Have No Expectation of Privacy in Phone Calls Made to Their Homes <http://www.law.com/professionals/techlaw.html/#news> The Legal Intelligencer In a decision that would make George Orwell glow with prescient delight, a fractured Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that, given the methods of telephone communication widely used today, including speakerphones and cordless phones, individuals have no reasonable expectation of privacy in telephone calls made to their own homes. The phone calls at issue were taped as part of a drug investigation conducted by law enforcement. ... The decision has to do with drug officers using a cooperating individual who consented to having his conversations taped with the suspect. "Considering the methods of telephone communication widely used today -- including speakerphones and cordless phones -- a person has no idea who is listening in on the other line and therefore has no reason to believe the information discussed in the conversation will not be revealed, the majority said. " "Justice Ronald Castille issued a concurring opinion, joined by Justice Thomas Saylor, to relate his belief that there is nothing in the state constitution that ever requires the commonwealth to obtain a probable cause determination before one of its agents can make a "simple phone call" to a person's house and have it taped by police.
