It hurt me because according to the 4th amendment, I still have protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures." As the NSA does business now, my phone call, as a U.S. citizen, from my friend who calls from Ecquador once every two months or so can be wiretapped and eavesdropped on without his name being on a terrorist watch list or for any reason at all. There isn't any smack of a warrant because of criminal activity.
If a person's name is on a terrorist watch list or the government has reason to believe there is criminal behavior, then by all means, go get a warrant and tap the phone. Wiretapping a phone and eavesdropping just because is a violation of the 4th amendment and should be stopped immediately. Agreed?
