| #6 Listen all you want to, all my calls are either "Yes Dear" or "Hi Mom" They'll be bored shitless. |

| #5 I think one thing people seem to overlook in this situation is that the eavesdropping they are talking about is a far cry from what the Left wants you to believe it is (i.e. the gubmint listening to every phone conversation or reading every email). What I mean is that they only start paying attention once key words and phrases are picked up on. For example, when the words "jihad", "assasinate", and "president" (or known code words that indicate as much) show up in the same pocket of data, that perks their ears up. In other words, they are not listening in on everyone's telephone conversations or reading everyone's emails. That would be physically impossible. But they are looking for triggers as described above that tell them they need to take a closer look. On a personal level, when it comes to national security that's exactly what our gubmint should be doing. |

| #1 ...If the Feds want to eavesdrop on my phone, all they're gonna hear is me making sure my mom is feeling well, my fiance telling me what we're having for dinner, or my best friend and I discussing the latest plastic models. They'll be bored, so I have no worries. Mike |
