Didn't the FBI convict someone on a data tap at 2400 baud not that
long ago? More advanced modulation would make this much harder... but
note that the FBI usually seems to be *behind* the state of the art on
this type of thing. It's still not easy, but if the value of the data
involved is high enough...
