Tapped: Science Fiction

When you wanted to warn the world media that all phones, all holos, all netfriends were being monitored by WorldCom, it was really quite difficult to use an untapped communications device to tell them. Leaking 101: Don't use your work email or work phone to say something bad about your work. When your work happened to own all the communication devices around, and you're leaking to warn them that they're monitoring everything, for financial gain (they never picked the wrong stock), for the news channel, for the political donations--so they always, but always, bet on the right horse to win, even when there was another clear favorite--well, then it gets complicated.

Story Potential: Medium.
Notes: Setting. Not personal enough. Could do a Grisham with it, though.
