Smithee, I will defer to your expertise on this but . . . what if I dial a wrong number? What if I hit redial by mistake and more than once. What if my cell phone houses a number which dialed me by mistake and I save it? The list goes on. - Holly

I don't have a ready answer for that, but I'm inclined to think that any privacy interest in such information is minimal So if you can't prove serious damage by the gov't grabbing a right or information about you, the gov't has the right to do so? Remember "Amendment X - Powers of the States and People. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." ? I think the real underlying question is whether one has a privacy interest in the identity of the telephone numbers one calls and the telephone numbers of people who call you. And why does the gov't have a right to such information as a general rule at any time? This isn't being asserted just for "the duration"; it is being asserted as a general gov't right.
