Who made you use a phone?

My god, I cannot believe what I am hearing. Hey, why not just pre-install government wiretaps on every phone if that is your attitude - "Who made you use a phone?"

I have to leave this thread before I completely violate every FR posting guideline at the level of utter disregard for basic concepts of liberty and privacy that I am seeing posted.

A company is providing you a service. You choose to use that service. Your private conversations are not being being listened to. Your specific phone records are not even being analyzed. All phone calls are used blindly to examine patterns that can indicate terrorist linked communications.

Why you object to this is quite irrational. It does not violate the Bill of Rights.

You are not being searched in any way. The service company would be the one being subjected to illegal search if this were the case, not you.
