[FedCom] Stingray legality

[Robert Bennett]

Gary;

I believe you misread the article you referenced. The devices being 
discussed are CELL PHONE INTERCEPT EQUIPMENT. In order to intercept a cell 
phone continuously, the equipment has to talk to the cell site for hand over 
purposes. I am surprised that the federal government is allowing a state to 
intercept cell phone calls. In the past this was the private domain of the 
federal government.

Bob, AD5LJ
