Have they asked No-Such-Agency?
No-Such-Agency typically taps communication lines by "back-hoe accident" of=
some sort on the path they are interested in tapping. That way they can i=
nstall a tap "over yonder" while the victim telecom is attempting to repair=
the original damage. I guess this time is taking longer than expected so =
they FBI has been recruited to prevent the victim from completing repairs t=
o quickly.
