Mysterious “interceptor” cellphone towers that can listen in someone’s phone call despite not being part of any phone networks have turned up near the White House and Senate.

Is he saying that the US government is so lax in what happens in its own backyard that they won't notice a couple of very suspicious new 'towers' being built on its doorstep?
Yeah, right. Say what you will about US intelligence, they won't miss that. The towers are quite obviously owned by the intelligence community and I'm surprised their placement hasn't caused any privacy debates within Congress, but then again, I would wager that certain influential members of Congress are well aware of the towers and their true function and accept it as a neccessary evil for 'security purposes'...
