it's odd that this is called "hacking" as there is no formal procedure or rules around granting access to phone records, and the huge number of "scandles" involving the abuse of phone records and the open use in tracking phones for assasination of foreign nationals cant be done without the casual access to all phone records, so there can be no doubts about an ongoing situation that continiously violates everyones right to private comunication. the headline is best described as a test of complacency. why bother?
