 Since this affects scanning, lets's ask this question:
Whatever happened to  ' of the people, for the people, by the people "
not " of big busines, by big business, for big business " like ECPA.

Ok, lets see what "Websters" has to say about the word "Right"..........

right   Pronunciation Key  (rt)
. right�er, right�est

    1.Conforming with or conformable to justice, law, or morality: do the
right thing
       and confess.

Does Listening to unrestricted comms conform to justice and the law.  (Yes)

<The ECPA (Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 1986) has little to
do with the context of this discussion since there are no provisions
mandating that public safety agency communications be open to thepublic.>

Who said it  madated "that public safety agency communications be open to the

public."?  I never said it did.
However ECPA mentions public safety numerous times.
