LOL They must think I’m crazy by now with no one here all day but me and the cats? They aren’t so good at conversations but they sure seem to like it when I talk to them. :)

Yes. The tin-foil hat wearers who believe the government is monitoring everyone all the time never seem to comprehend how much effort, money, and manpower such a surveillance society would entail.

Not only an inordinate amount of time but an impossible number of people to do the monitoring and an impossibly sized database to store the data. There is not the time, money, data storage or people to monitor even one tenth of the U.S. population. The best they can do is to screen as much data as possible and then keep the ones that match the key words and phrases for a further look. Anything that does not make the first or second cut flows into the bit bucket.
