   [72]CWmike writes "They sometimes call national security the third rail
   of politics. Touch it and, politically, you're dead. The cliché doesn't
   seem far off the mark after reading Mark Klein's new book, Wiring up
   the Big Brother Machine ... and Fighting It. It's an account of his
   experiences as the whistleblower who exposed a secret room at a Folsom
   Street facility in San Francisco that was apparently used to monitor
   the Internet communications of ordinary Americans. [73]Amazingly,
   however, nobody wanted to hear his story. In his book he talks about
   meetings with reporters and privacy groups that went nowhere until a
   fateful January 20, 2006 meeting with Kevin Bankston of the Electronic
   Frontier Foundation. Bankston was preparing a lawsuit that he hoped
   would put a stop to the wiretap program, and Klein was just the kind of
   witness the EFF was looking for. He spoke with Robert McMillan for an
   interview."
