Glad I'm not on Verizon.
I think all federal agencies, including HS and DoD can already do that though, based on PATRIOT act. The main reason they are saying was to investigate the Tsarnaev bros.

This is not much of a surprise. Some of us have been warning about this for years.
People phones where being tapped as far back as the 40's by the goverment
My post says that I am not a Verizon customer, therefore it doesn't apply to me yet. I'm on AT&T, and not impacted as of yet. Did you know there was a federal case vs AT&T years ago about similar issue of NSA wiretapping?
I hope you understand that this is based on federal mobile (phone) intelligence. It isn't new, especially since PATRIOT act.
This issue has been around for years since 70s when FISA - Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act came out. It isn't new, it's just revised now to include smartphones. So far Verizon is one of the first.

Only with judge approval until Bush expanded it.
What that means before Bush era, in order to wiretap, somebody, investigators are required to submit request for wiretapping though court before doing so. After Bush ERA, some agencies are exempted from this rule, and I think they are going too far.
Even the NY Times is mad about this NSA thing.
