Where did this come from?

However, the system is setup to be triggered when a key word is said. When a second key word is said, the system begins to record your conversation, and the names of both parties go on 'the list'. This method is strictly againt the constitution, because it allows anyone in the entire country to become suspect.

This article explains techniques of the eavesdropping in quite a bit more detail and might be useful as a source (though it makes no mention of "after two keywords, the conversation is recorded").
