What I think or say privately is none of your or anyone’s D@MN business!!

Define private! If your conversation is carried on an air wave that is not "private".

Would you consider people talking on walkie talkies to be carrying out a "private" conversation?

Food for thought.

Good point. Of course, sound is carried on airwaves, so by extension, any conversation you might have with someone else, even in person and alone with them, could be considered to be not-private. (I'm not advocating that, just raising the question.)

Walkie Talkies? What about Cell Phones? As a customer in a store or restaurant I can hear everything the person is saying. Very annoying.

Setting aside the contents of the calls, what about tracking your location habits via the GPS and/or the cell towers your phone hits when you're talking, or even when you're not but your phone is synchronizing?

Where does your expectations of privacy from the government end?
