The question... How soon before all AS owners passing *any* government traffic, will be required to install "Homeland Security (NSA) taps"? Even if the traffic is in transit to another AS.. Not all government agencies are on the NMCI. Somewhere along the line, they are going to say they need taps to maintain security *premeptive security* that is..
