clipper serial numbers need nd court order something that no one has discussed yet or i missed it the fbi sets up a wiretap after the court order was handed only at this point they can access the line and detect the serial number n what happens next does the fbi simply asks for the keys for n and since a warrant was issued for the line the fbi simply gets it what if multiple phones are used from the same house the fbi just asks for n n etc exactly who is to prevent the fbi from claiming some other serial number x was also used over the wirtapped line and get the keys for x either a second court order for the specific serial key is required and i have seen no indication of this or the fbi can effectively ask for any pair of keys at any time so the escrow key holders are a total fake an unrelated issue if and when all phones always use the clipper chip how are call transfers going to take place michael golan mg cs princeton edu
