Commentary:

<<< One of the things that caused problems for the KGB and the Stasi (the state security organisation of the former DDR) was the work involved in processing an intercept. Despite the fact that both regimes were totally fscked, they used legalistic and bureaucratic procedures. The system became limited by the need to approve and process their equivalent of intercept warrants and what to do with the information. Neither the KGB nor the STASI had much in the way of computer power to process the information gathered and the legal procedures were manual. What is happening here is that one of the last brakes to quick intercepts is being removed. The bottleneck connected with the approval process made law enforcement types think before ordering an intercept: Do they really need it?

It will be possible for intercepts to be implemeneted with less controls and far faster than in Soviet Russia. >>>
