My concern is that the eavesdropping is not being limited to persons under suspicion.
I'm not too comfortable with my right to privacy being infringed in the name of capturing a terrorist.
I realize if I were shooting out lots of emails or phone calls with certain tag lines such as, bomb, it might flag NSA computer systems, but it kinda sounds like it's gone further than that.
Has there been any talk that these warrentless searches have been confined to muslims, persons here on visas, illegals, persons with criminal backgrounds, persons that have had recent contacts with questionable organizations?
I have read several articles about this "secret" snooping, but I have not seen anything that would lead me to believe it has been limited in scope. Everything I've read indicates the scope of the eavesdropping has been broad.

I can understand your concern since you obviously believe everything you read from the Enemedia! They represent such a pillar of honesty, integrity and pro-American sentiment.
The only concern I have is that the spies assigned to me might die of boredom. Maybe I will begin prefacing all my conversations and e-mails with, "Good day Mr. President. Thank you for keeping an eye out for the terrorists!"

As long as you remember that any info sent electronically will be listened to/read you have no worries. President Bush is not the first to use these powers, I KNOW Clinton did, and it may have gone beak even earlier.
Remember the tag lines to emails that had a list of the so called trigger words? And yes, your cell phone most likely has a GPS transponder built in too.
