It seems our power crazy masters have spent a fortune on yet another fiasco. Echelon doesn’t quite come up to spec for those terrorists that are stupid enough to use phones to communicate their dastardly plans. It can’t understand the words if the line isn’t perfect. Unbelievable.
So the real bad guys use technology to bypass Echelon or even go back in time and use couriers etc. while those that can’t afford to just use the cheapest phones they can find and inject some signal noise.
The human brain, still the best computer out there can work around the problem but billions of pounds worth of computer hardware and software are stuck. The fate of the world depends on the quality of the phone lines.
You can’t make this up.
