"This is Charles. There is a change in the schedule."

Fort Meade Maryland, NSA

There was a time when people with headphones use to do this job. Listen to calls, compare it to known voice prints. Such places were called listening posts. Now computers took over and did the same Job a lot faster, efficient and accurate.

So when a very unremarkable looking machine did a voice analysis on a recorded call, a small statement

"This is Charles. There is a change in schedule" and a click of the phone being disconnected.

It within seconds tried to compare it against thousands of voice prints in its database. What prompted the machine to pay attention was the word "Charles" there had been a request from CIA to put the word on the watch list.

That word was spoken thousands of times across the phone network every day and the machine did this every single time. That was the advantage of having a computer replace humans. Something that would have taken months to cover now only took minutes or a few hours.

But unlike all the other times, something else happened. There was a match. The machine cross referenced the call against what it had in its database and decided it was 97% accurate match. Which was classified as beyond reasonable doubt. It immediately looked for the person who put a flag in place and saw the reference as a 'Michael Bartley' from CIA and he had the necessary authorization.

The system generated a report of the call with its analysis and also the location of the cell tower that picked up the call and a time stamp and promptly e-mailed it to him.

All this happened in less that fifteen minutes and without any human interference what so ever and the machine went back to its job of listing to thousands of calls.
