JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge.

The explosives were admitted as evidence at the trial. 1 Ross claims error because the seizure of the explosives resulted from a violation of federal wiretapping law when a telephone lineman testing a line overheard his conversation, and because probable cause did not exist for issuance of the search warrant used in the seizure.
