[edit] Sourcing

This article needs some decent sourcing, it's overly dependent on one source, and a blog at that.

[edit] warrantless surveillance

In a modern American Network Operations Center, optical splitters divert a percentage of the laser light from all incoming and outgoing fiber-optic cables to the secret room. [1] An example is Room 641A in the SBC Communications building in San Francisco.[1] Activities in a black room do not fall under the concept of lawful interception, as all data is intercepted and no court order will be obtained for its interception as it is at least arguably an extralegal procedure.

I've removed the above as it is taken from NSA warrantless surveillance controversy and generalises to the entire United States. Wired blogs are not a good enough source for something like that. Secretlondon 16:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
