I beleave you are wrong and who you were quoting was right.  To listen to 
Cell or Cordless is illigal in anyway as far as I know in the states.  now 
for somone like me, a Canadian (and dam proud of it!) .. We are TRULY a free 
Country.  There is no such law here.  The only thing closest to it is third 
party.  That is, if I hear about your wife having an affair, I cannot tell 
anyone.
