if this is what takes to stop a terrorist from murdering people then i could give two shits on if its legal or not. i mean do you actually care if the government is listening to what you were shopping for at the mall today ? probably not. so lighten up.
I find it amazing that people are willing to flush their civil liberties down the toilet because W has told them it is a way to "fight terror."
The government can also go into your home without a search warrant and without you even knowing about it. They can also listen to your phone calls.
Somebody quick........rush on and tell me how free we are.
