Brooklyn Gallery Owner Builds NSA Listening Towerk.

The patriotic director of a Brooklyn art gallery is building a 
10-foot-tall cell tower to help the NSA and other spooks spy on his 
neighbors' communications without having to obtain a pesky warrant or 
place phone companies and ISPs in legal jeopardy.

David Kesting, director of the Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery, says the 
tower, when completed this week, will capture, amplify and rebroadcast 
signals up to half a mile away using high-gain antennas and a satelite 
dish. This will help authorities monitor the phone and e-mail traffic of 
all his neighbors by allowing them to simply pick up the communications 
surreptitiously from the street without having to worry about being 
caught up in class-action lawsuits brought against telcos for violating 
their customers' privacy.
