[VOIPSEC] VoIP providers must allow wiretapping by law enforcement agencies by next May 14

[Voiceline]

I am not sure if I have a point here - anyway here goes: As fare as I know - 
US law only applies to US based companies. Mighty is the power of America, 
but they don't have world domination - yet. So just move your company to 
another country, right? FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said; "Enabling law 
enforcement to ensure our safety and security is of paramount importance," - 
is there a deferens between Safety and Security? - We all know that this act 
is not going to make the world any safer; it's just not that simple. What we 
do know is this: CDT Policy Director Jim Dempsey said "This ruling threatens 
both civil liberties and technology innovation," - and that we know fore 
sure...
