Published June 9, 2010 at 3:09 p.m.


Like so many in Milwaukee, I've suffered through two and a half years as an AT&T Wireless customer, mostly unable to place or receive a call inside my own home.

Over a month ago, police seized a pile of equipment from Gizmodo editor Jason Chen's home in order to investigate the case of the misappropriated prototype iPhone. Gizmodo (and about ten million armchair lawyers on the internet) claimed the seizure was illegal because of "shield laws" intended to protect journalists from being compelled to reveal their sources ...
