Echelon penetrates the world wide communications network and eaves drops on
all traffic within it private or otherwise. Usually one needs a court order
to tap a phone, Echelon dispenses with this formality not only for Britain
and America but any foreign network it can access from its location.
Sounds highly penetrative and aggressive to me. Not that I'm complaining -
I'm British :-)
