FBI Wiretaps Dropped Due to Unpaid Bills

Newsvine — FBI Wiretaps Dropped Due to Unpaid Bills:

Telephone com­pa­nies have cut off FBI wire­taps used to eaves­drop on sus­pected crim­i­nals because of the bureau’s repeated fail­ures to pay phone bills on time.

Do you feel safe yet? This sort of thing makes me won­der if pri­vacy con­cerns about gov­ern­ment mon­i­tor­ing are overblown, sim­ply on the basis of gov­ern­ment incom­pe­tence!
