"Once a person, group, or country find out that they are of interest to an intelligence agency, two things happen. First, they tend to become very careful with regards to communications – they take steps to throw off surveillance efforts, and they will even shift to means that cannot be intercepted (like couriers or flying for face-to-face meetings). al Qaeda has done this in the past. Second, they begin to wonder how the information is acquired – and try to cut off the flow." For example: Prior to 9/11 Al Qaeda used satellite phone extensively. After the fact that we tapped them was leaked they were dropped like a hot potato.
