Billy---military investigators can do any damned thing they please-- they are not bound by the same restraints as their counterparts in the civilian side of life---the only guide line that they serve is the UCMJ which is the Uniform Code of Military Justice--and if you get a copy of this thing and study it very thoroughly --you will find that they have latitudes that would make any civilian authority's mouth water---So--yes--even without proof of "just cause" they can tap your private line on a whim !!!!

They have that capability, but it's not as if there's some guy in a uniform hiding in a building late at night on an army post 200 miles away listening to your conversation to your grandma. The military has better things to do than to waste resources on things like that, especially right now; the percentage of equipment that even has that capability is few and far between, is widely dispersed and isn't wasted on such frivolity. To think that every conversation every day is being listened to is simply paranoid, conspiracy-theory/tin-hat nonsense. Current agencies who devote the time and the money and the manpower to civilian phone conversations are civilian agencies themselves; and odds are you'll likely go through your whole life without having one phone conversation listened to by a CIVILIAN big-brother agency.

It's done every day and this is a fact. My son used to write software for the government that would listen to cell phones used by drug dealers a half world away by using the satellite phone system. Not a very difficult thing to do.

From what i have heard there is a place in El Paso, Tx that tracks ALL WIRELESS TRANSMITIONS. Yes that means your wireless router. So every time you make a call on your cell phone, or open a page on your High Speed Wireless Internet, thee is a record of it in that system. This is no lie. I have heard about this place from current and ex government.

Yes they can if you are in the military or part of a military investigation.
