ehh.. LI on routers has been (at least on one major vendor) designed to not be visible to end operators in the course of normal operation. there are ways to see it, but it involves either the actual LI mechanism or some esoteric debugs. And it probably wouldn't be obvious to SOCs if the implemented LI was legit or not.

So, the question of competence or otherwise may be mooted by virtue of simply not having proper visibility.

in fqct, iirc, it might be even illegal to know what wiretaps are running on the system unless you are the one who process warrant or implement the wiretap. and in case wiretap falls under fisa, than this is classified information and a whole different can of worms

Fair point. I do not know enough in that area to argue further.
