Is my line tapped?

[Skeeter]

Recently my phone went dead and the phone company came over twice to repair it. He repaired it one day then the same thing happened again so he came over again was here for hours. My highspeed worked fine but i had no dialtone. when i went down stairs to look at his wiring it looked like a mess. Before i had a neat little box and no he brought in a new line and it looks like a mess of wires

Very fuzzy photos, but I suggest you have nothing to worry about.

If the phone company have been to see you recently (and you called them) then you can be pretty sure they would have alerted you to something nefarious.

If it is your Government that wants to tap your phone, rest assured you wouldn't see or hear anything, and it certainly wouldn't be done at your premises.

I'm curious but the pictures are too blurry for me to make a guess. Can you take a few more pics and adjust the focus? Try a macro setting if you have one.

It's probably a line filter or switch of sorts. Do you have DSL? VOIP service?

*steve*'s got it right. We're waaay past the bad guys coming into your house and putting the little dime-sized mic in your telephone handset. If somebody wants to tap
your phone, they won't need to rewire your house wiring, to do it.
The phone company repair people aren't what they used to be, looks like a pretty standard cluster-mess from today's phone 'technicians', to me.
