Subject: Clever crooks can foil wiretaps,
	security flaw in tap technology

I think we're talking about legal wiretaps, e.g. a law enforcement
agency with a court order.  The problem is if you can easily fool the
system, the evidence is possibly unreliable and/or tainted.  However,
even if you can temporarily "fool" the law enforcement agency in
question, it's doubtful this would keep you out of trouble for long.
