Actually, no.

IANAL

US laws include Title III of the 1968 OCCSS, 1978 FISA, and the 1994  
CALEA, with updates related to PATRIOT. The US is unusual in this  
respect; most of the countries that have published law or regulation  
relating to lawful intercept simply state that the police have  
authority to intercept any communications a surveillance subject  
participates in. As such Cisco implemented the PacketCable solution  
for CALEA a while, and then went on to meet the requirements of our  
various customers that have IP data intercept requirements.

You might find the following of interest.It's more about e-911, but  
if you want to read forensic access in as well, the shoe fits.

It's my opinion. Cisco is welcome to espouse it as well if it wants to.
