Context for the surveillance debate

The current debate about surveillance turns out not to be a feature of September 11th, instead being born of the move to mobile telephony and digital switching that started in the 1980's. govexec.com has a thorough article that gives the history of the debate here. It is well worth a read if you have the time.
