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.
