Actually, you don't, cuhulin.

Newer radio scanners for the public are required by law not to be capable of
eavesdropping on cellular phone frequencies. Many states have outlawed
radar detectors (which, of course, do nothing but listen for an electronic
transmission).

Thank-you! That's what I was trying to determine. Looks like the US
laws are pretty much the same as the UK ones; you're only allowed to
listen to specifically designated bands.

So, the reality is: "Every American citizen SHOULD have the right to listen
to any and all electronic transmissions, period."

Maybe. Would have some pretty drastic implications on hacking and
privacy law until use of encryption becomes defacto.
