There is a reason wiretaps are made as close to the source as possible.  
Trying to find the right pair in even the behind the house cable would 
be a bear.  To isolate a single pair in a bundle remotely?  Say it's a 
twenty five pair cable.  That is 24 conversations you don't want, and if 
your are the FBI with a warrant, cannot listen to.  You would spend a 
lot of time finding the right pair.

Have fun at my house.  Three POTS drops and all of them dead.

Politically I have given up on being an anything-arian. I am for accountability and nothing else. Hold the government, in specific the office holders, elected or appointed, accountable for all actions taken in office. Authority must be granted grudgingly and reluctantly. When it is abused it must be snatched away at once. Be it a minimum wage screener at the TSA or the President of the United States.
