Phone-tap laws

Gulfnews: Australia phone-tap laws extended to e-mail and SMS:

"The new laws allow police, intelligence agencies and investigating authorities to secretly retrieve e-mails and text messages from phone companies and Internet service providers."

Secret retrieval, heh? Well, there you go. Given we are all on satellite connection I guess the whole world can get in here and listen to us all blab, blah...We no longer live in a democracy and if this is what we are trying to bring to poor, uninformed countries, well, no wonder they don't want it. Talk about bullying, BB.
