I quote from that link Áine found - "The regulation... allows the Department of Justice, unilaterally, without judicial oversight, and with no meaningful standards, to eavesdrop on the confidential attorney-client conversations of persons in custody whom the Justice Department itself may be seeking to prosecute."

That is what I meant by totalitarian. That is a step over the line. It's a victory for anyone who wants to see the destruction of the experiment in democracy that the USA is supposed to be.
