I honestly don't see the big deal about listening to phone calls and reading emails. If you're not doing anything shady, why would they need to read your info? The NSA doesn't care if you're calling your brother to ask him over for a BBQ. What, do you want potential terrorists to have free access to communication? Oh yes, in the name of Allah I'm going to plant a pipe bomb on the subway, let me email my cousin Mohammad and get the blueprints from him. No way, you want law enforcement to be deaf and blind to threats? This quote I keep seeing, those who give up liberty for security deserve neither? Hey, they've been tapping phones for decades, it's nothing new, and how has it affected your life? Im glad someone is keeping an ear out for me, I'm glad there are people dedicated to busting criminals, because believe it or not, Americans are under constant threat from terror (yes, terrorists hate Americans), and I'm glad they're trying to stop them. The worst thing I do is make moonshine. Do I talk about it on the phone with my fellow moonshiner (my father)? No, of course not. Is it creepy in a 1984 kinda way? Maybe, but if the NSA can stop terror attacks from happening by bugging some terrorists phone, go for it, bug away.
