I picked up a copy of the magazine "Free Inquiry" at the bookstore
today.  The cover article was written by James Randi (the magician who
debunks lots of ESP frauds). In fact, the magazine seems to be run by
the same folks who do the Skeptical Inquirer, but is slanted more
towards religious debunking.

Randi's article was titled "Peter Popoff Reaches Heaven via 39.17
Megahertz".  Popoff is one of the most notorious TV faith healers.
Randi's group went to the shows and noticed that Popoff wore a hearing
aid. Then they got a scanner and quickly found the frequency his wife
was using to tell him the names and ills of people whom she had pumped
for information before the show.

Now ponder the fact that the proposed Communications Privacy Act now
pending in the US Senate would have made this expose illegal.  The
conversation was meant to be private, and Popoff certainly would have
objected to its interception.

Could there be a connection here? Hmm......
