doesn't mean you can hide behind them.  Compliance is ultimately your
(the company that gets the subponea) responsibility.


Here's a question that's come up around here.  Does a CALEA intercept
include "hairpining" or is it *only* traffic leaving your network?
I'm of the opinion that a CALEA intercept request includes every bit
of traffic being sent or received by the targeted individual, but
there is strong opposition here that thinks only internet-related
traffic counts.

That would be something best brought up with a CALEA lawyer or one of the Trusted Third Party companies for an answer.

I suspect that you probably ought to have the capability of getting both ends of the "conversation" (incoming & outgoing) as the warrant may be written that way.
