I can't see how this could possibly be legal in the US.

this is the government we're talking about here.
they don't care if it is legal, moral, ethical, or other as long as they get what they want.
you think they're worried about the legality of something as "trivial" as this when they are breaking multiple other laws every second of everyday for things like roving wire taps?
