 Actually it isn't, except perhaps the extent to which the tracing 
 can or cannot be followed onto mobiles and pay-phones.  

 The only lesson from routine tapping is that "Your phone can be 
 bugged and you almost certainly won't be able to detect the 
 existence of bugging.  Any location you frequent regularly can
 be bugged and you almost certainly won't be able to detect the
 existence of bugging."


 A number of security lessons might be drawn from this (e.g. do not
 use insecure channels and locations to pass secure information),
 but they are not connected with knowing the technical means
 of bugging.  Only suspecting its existence.
