Quite nothing new, granted, but utterly wrong nevertheless. It is hard for a culture or a country to pretend being the defendant of humanity and at the same time behave in that way. Would you like your friends eavesdropping in your back? For what purpose really, Huh? I certainly not. Shows how much trust and love people really have: NONE. Sorry, but that is not the model I am living for, not a model I will fight for, but one I will fight against.

For example, the speaker may try to disguise his voice, and also the trunc lines that you call on may automatically switch to a different set of wires while you are still talking. This changes the spectral charateristics of the transmitted speech. So a good speaker ID algorithm needs to overcome these and many other obstacles.
