Unless you're engaged in terrorist activity then no, allowing them to listen to your phone calls will never prevent an act of terrorism. And they're most certainly not serving you if they are infringing upon your rights.
Um yeah I want them to catch people engaged in terrorist activity.
Yeah but how does listening to your conversation advance that cause? When I say you, I mean you. Specifically. Why are you ok with having them listen to your phone calls when you have done absolutely nothing wrong?
Ok so what exactly is your argument here?
You have a right to privacy. You have done nothing wrong, there is no reason to listen to your phone calls.
Of course, I don't know all the intimate details regarding your relationship with Bin Laden.
I've done nothing wrong and I have nothing to hide. However that still doesn't mean the government or anyone else has the right to my personal life.Exactly I did nothing wrong I have nothing to hide if the government wants to listen to me I don't care.

That is not the point. You may not care, honestly I do not care, but that doesn't mean they should have the right.

Why shouldn't they have the right?
right there
Lol whatever. Yeah we should totally wait for something bad to happen and try to backtrack instead of being proactive.
Our goverment that gives you the right to have that privacy.

We have a fundamental difference in how we view government. You believe we are subservient to the government and it is our master. I believe our government is subservient to us.
No one, not even government, can grant rights. Rights are natural and inherent with sapient life.
It is better to risk three thousand people dying today than risk a billion living under tyranny tomorrow.
You can catch bad guys without trampling on the very things that make us a society - and a species - worth protecting.
You don't want to piss me off. You've never seen me "pissed off". You won't like it .. I assure you of that.
We are of a few countries that allow their people these "rights" you speak of. The problem today is people take them for granted. They aren't "yours" by right .. they were fought for and given to you.
