So if someone in Afghanistan called someone in Pakistan, the argument that the SECOND the call gets routed through a US hub, that call is now considered prohibited to wireless tapping...

AND the telecom company that provided access to that phonecall can be sued by class-action lawyers with the argument that the conversation passed through American soil making the conversation domestic and under American rules and regulations...

Pretty stupid, huh?...
