With 300+ Million people in this country how is it a violation of your freedom and privacy for the national security agency to listen to your conversations? Everyone expects the government to protect us, yet nobody thinks the government should be able to employ mechanisms that assist in this protection.

Can anyone provide me with an alternative to eves dropping to catch terrorist plots?

Does anyone have an idea of how many of these plots are foiled by eves dropping?
If we have to have probable cause then for every one we catch a dozen gets through and hundreds or thousands of American citizens die.

I’ll phrase it a different way, had you rather have another 9/11 or have your conversations tapped?
