Well in the version I have (1 year old) it states  "color of law", you
state  "color of authority".. tell ya the truth. I dont know what the hell
either of them technically mean..  But either way, lets just assume that
what you said was true.. That would be a total impossibility and would
thusly invalidate the whole purpose of 2511- 2 - B (c) which is supposed
to allow people to use their own cell or cordless phone without that 
use being considered an actual illegal intercept... Now if you were t tell
me that the phrase  "color of law" means that only LEO's can intercept it 
hen
it would as I said be illegal for everyone in the country to even use their
cell or cordless phone..  So I simply interpret  "color of law" to mean
something to the quivelant of   "so log as your doing it legitimately with
no illegal or malintentions."
