Better hurry up and tell the Supreme Court they're wrong then.

"Pen registers are regularly employed 'to determine whether
a home phone is being used to conduct a business, to check
for a defective dial, or to check for overbilling.'"

"Although most people may be oblivious to a pen register's
esoteric functions, they presumably have some awareness of
one common use: to aid in the identification of persons
making annoying or obscene calls."

I didn't fall for any trap that you may think you had set. You
simply wasn't watching where you were walking and stepped into
one of those little holes of yours.

Tread lightly, You'll never know who's watching.

Oh, that is most certainly what it means as well as where and how
the word was derived.

Interception is a re-route, and the original intended recipient of
the call is not where the call ends up.

Show me where the word "connection" is at in the fourth amendment.

Also, since it is indeed an amendment, someone at some point in time
decided that changes were needed in the constitution.

I know you have at least enough brains to see where I am heading
with this...
