Look at this question asked at Joe Rose's on line live chat
1. There is no expectation of privacy in public. Being on a public bus is...well, in public.
2. Anything transmitted via federally licensed radio spectrum is not private. There is no expectation of privacy over a radio. Doesn't matter if it's a licensed business frequency or CB Radio or FRS or television or AM/FM bands. If it's put on a public airwave it is public. Want privacy - don't use a radio. (If it were private, don't you think radio scanners would be illegal???)

Continues to violate the privacy...?

That was ALWAYS the point Erik-but Trimet had reigned me in for the most part.
Don't matter now anyway, I can do what I want now that I AM FREE, FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I AM FREE AT LAST!
Day made.
