Siri can. And she can listen to more conversations faster than
any human on the payroll. Yup, creepy alright.

"I am pleased that the administration has
reiterated that, as I have always believed, the NSA cannot listen to the content
of Americans’ phone calls without a specific warrant."
So,
collection is still ok, but no one can listen to the conversation until they get
a warrant.
Not quite the case that no one can listen: read
it more carefully. No one at NSA can listen, legally, without a warrant. There
are a bunch of people in and around NSA that are able to listen for whatever
purpose they may have in mind.
In particular, the US government-security
apparatus has shown no apparent qualms a outsourcing illegal activities to other
agencies, and has shown few qualms about unilaterally determining that desired
illegal activities are to be considered legal after all.
Further, the US
government-security apparatus has not shown much competence at keeping "secure"
information actually secure. The best they seem to be able to do is to threaten
after-the-fact punishment for those that are caught, or admit to exposing the
security inadequacies.

There have been several VIPs saying things like that: "we can only legally
listen with a warrant", or "listening/reading content would be
illegal", but none of them actually say it isn't happening.
Take away conclusion: "Legality is an inconvenience, but we have
ways..."[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
