Could the government be spying on you?

I know, I know... a lot of people would say that they will accept burdens on their freedoms in exchange for security.

I won't even get into the legal arguments against this. I'll just repeat an old maxim: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Edit:

Saw a better and more applicable quote from Ben Franklin:

"those who would give up a little liberty for a little security will wind up with neither and rightly so."
