In nineteen ninety four, the United States Congress passed a statute called CALEA — the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. It required every telecommunications carrier in the country to engineer a permanent surveillance interface into its own infrastructure. A door, mandated by Washington, into every conversation routed through every American switch.

The door was built so the FBI could listen when a judge signed a warrant.

In twenty twenty four, the United States government admitted that someone else had been listening through it. For at least two years. Possibly longer.
