In one case, the FBI obtained the contents of 181 telephone calls rather than just the billing records to which it was entitled. In another, a communication was monitored for more than a year after eavesdropping should have ended - although investigators blamed a third-party provider for the mix-up.

If you have the time to read Dorothy Gilman's A Nun in the Closet, you might find it amusing. Eavesdropping violations are nothing new. We haven't been able to "guard the guards" for a long time now. It's still grounds for impeachment.
