Personally, I've always wondered how pen-registers could be legally used without the permission of the registered. It just seems like snooping. Yes, I realize Courts Have Decided, and The Legal Issues Are All Tidily Wrapped Up, but really, how un-American is a pen-register?
On a related note, do US federal law enforcement agencies suffer a significant personnel turnover because people finally have pangs of conscience over what they're required to do?
