The rate in young ppl is on the rise too. The USA has one of the very worst records on this issue. Graham

Sorry, you seem to have directed this post at me. First off, as I am a UK citizen the FISA means less than nothing to me and interests me about as much as slugs on lettuce leaves. Secondly, and more importantly, my post says I do not care how time sensitive the intelligence is. Saying the "int is vital and needs to be actioned in the next five seconds" is ludicrous. 24 is not real. By the time a telephone number is identified as intelligence bearing there is sufficient time to get proper, advance, authority to intercept. Feel free to try and explain what you think my post said.

Why? What situation can the intelligence be so vital that the law enforcement agency know it is going to be said but dont have time to advance request a warrant? > However, it's provided for in FISA. Not really relevant to me, as your country feels it can intercept my communications at its leisure.
