Well, almost.  It is against Federal rules to own <italic>and</italic> operate 
a radio receiver

to intercept cellular phone calls.  Own, yes.  Many scanners will do it.

Operate, that's a no no.  It was too easy for the National Enquirer to 

intercept calls made by Senators to their Mistresses, so they made it illegal.
