I. THE OLMSTEAD CASE IN OLMSTEAD VS. U.S., 277US438 (1928), THE POLICE INTERCEPTED COMMUNICATIONS BY PLACING A TAP ON DEFENDENT'S TELEPHONE LINE. IN A 5-4 DECISION,THE MAJORITY READ THE 4TH AMENDMENT LITERALLY, CONCLUDING THAT THE POLICE CONDUCT DID NOT CONSTITUTE A SEARCH AND SEIZURE. TWO REASONS WERE GIVEN: (1) AT NO TIME DID THE POLICE TRESPASS UPON THE DEFENDANT'S PROPERTY,SO NO "PLACE" WAS SEARCHED; AND (2) ONLY CONVERSATIONS WERE OBTAINED, SO NO "THINGS" WERE SEIZED. II. SECTION 605 CONGRESS LATER ENACTED THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS ACTE OF 1934, WHICH PROVIDED IN SECTION 605: "[N]O PERSON NOT BEING AUTHORIZED BY THE SENDER SHALL INTERCEPT ANY COMMUNICATIONS AND DIVULGE OR PUBLISH THE EXISTANCE, CONTENTS, SUBSTANCE, OR MEANING OF SUCH CONVERSATION TO ANY PERSON." ON THE BASIS OF THIS LANGUAGE, IT WAS HELD THAT A PERSON WITH STANDING, I.E., A PARTY TO THE CONVERSATION, GOLDSTEIN VS. US, 316 US 114 (1942), COULD SUPPRESS IN A FEDERAL PROSECUTION EVIDENCE OBTAINED BY STATE OR FEDERAL OFFICERS, NARDONE VS. US, 302 US 379 (1937), BY WIRETAPPING INTERSTATE OR INTRASTATE COMMUNICATIONS, WEISS VS US, 308 US 321 (1939), UNLESS DONE WITH THE CONSENT OF ONE OF THE PARTIES TO THE CONVERSATION.

LEE WAS DECIDED JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE CRIME CONTROL ACT (LATER ISSUE OF TELECOMMUNICATION LAWS) SUPERCEDED THE WIRETAPPING PROHIBITION OF SECT. 605.
