It sounds like you have a similar surveillance problem to what Anonymous Conservative talks about on his blog.

Some of the blog material reminds me of "Enemy of the State". Sorry all you blog haters.

Wikipedia wants everyone to know that the 1998 movie, "Enemy of the State" was a continuation of "The Conversation"

Kim Newman considered Enemy of the State a "continuation of The Conversation", the 1974 psychological thriller that starred Hackman as a paranoid, isolated surveillance expert

They have been at this a long time. Michael Hayden said that the agency couldn't survived with the wrong public impressions formed by "Enemy of the State." Not only did they survive but they thrived or should I say flourished. Hayden was appalled by this movie. 

However, in 2001, the then-NSA director Gen. Michael Hayden, who was appointed to the position during the release of the film, told CNN's Kyra Phillips that "I made the judgment that we couldn't survive with the popular impression of this agency being formed by the last Will Smith movie."[18] James Risen wrote in his 2006 book State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration that Hayden "was appalled" by the film's depiction of the NSA, and sought to counter it with a PR campaign on behalf of the agency.[19]
