The surveillance protocol depends on obtaining information relating to roughly "everybody," but the government argues that this does not make anybody a suspect. The reason everybody's communication patterns is necessary, is that "suspicious" activity is defined as deviation from "normal" activity, and without a body of "normal" activity, there is no way to discern the "suspicious" stuff.
Whether that makes you feel like a suspect is personal to you. I'm personally offended by the surveillance, but there is absolutely nothing that I can do to have it curtailed.
No, I do not feel like a suspect. Not in the slightest, but I do, without a doubt feel my gubbamint issued a general warrant to obtain my records (not that my life’s that interesting lol), and they had absolutely no probable that would justify it.
There is no telling what types and scope of records collected. Bank acct., CCards, Phone, Internet...who knows. That is simply put, un-American and illegal regardless of the reason.
