re: #46 calochortus

Years ago I read a piece by someone who had worked for the FBI back in the day when tapping a phone meant sitting in a van (or maybe a little room) somewhere and just listening to all the phone calls. They had to tap the phones of a suspected crime figure who had 3 teenage daughters. Much boredom ensued.

There was a German movie a number of years ago, about a Stasi agent whose job was listening to phone calls. I didn’t watch the entire movie, it was too boring.
