It can not be emphasized enough that what the Feebees want now
is what they always have wanted....

That's NOT just a way to intercept What You Say, but a way to
intercept What You Say INEXPENSIVELY FOR THEM. They can and do kick
on CO doors with paper in hand; but they want to save shoe leather.

This is a budget issue for them. Thinking it is purely a technology
issue is a trap, as it is anything but. It's a manpower/staffing
resources one.
