The US laws prevent only the US Agency from spying on it's | citizens. There is nothing that prevents the other Echelon partners (I | beleive they are Austrailia, Britian, and New Zealand) from doing the | spying and sharing the results. | | -Jim P. The US doesn't even bother with all of that; they directly monitor domestic communications of American citizens as a matter of routine. Sad, but true. I know this because I know someone who used to be involved with the project. He denies that it is called Echelon but he does not deny that it exists.
