Therefore, the focus of this paper is twofold, to assess the correctness of Congress' wiretapping revisions through an analysis of the legal history of wiretapping, and to evaluate the Internet wiretapping proposal as it applies to CALEA, the law enforcement, privacy, and security issues. 2 The History of Wiretapping 2.1 An Overview
Wiretapping has historically referred to the interception of a telephone line to eavesdrop on a telephone conversation. As technology has evolved, wiretapping now refers to any type of eavesdropping, whether it involves land line telephones, cellular telephones or voice-over Internet calls.
