I see what you trying to say regarding layering and so on. But if you did nothing wrong then you have nothing to worry about. If someone who you are hanging around with begins to say and do questionable things then you shouldn't probaly be hanging around with them anymore. You know we live in a free country thats true but dont think that its free because people leave us alone. Its only free because people are looking out for you and me all the time. Did you like it when your mom or dad told you that you had to be home at a certain time when you were young and still living at home. You probaly didn't but they did that because they knew something about this world that maybe you didn't yet or refuse to see and that is that there are people out there that want to hurt you if they could. I dont see any problem with the goverment doing this type of surveillance. I know theres people in this country that dont like what america stands for but they like the money there making and the freedom they have so they stay here. I wish it was as easy as I leave you alone and you leave me alone but I dont think its like that. I think a lto of americains have this idea that everything is free buts its really not like that not here and not anywhere. Everything comes with a price. Now I would rather pay the price of someone watching out for me not as I think you think which is watching you rather watching out for me than watching another burning building with a friend or family member or other people dying becasue we couldn't check out someone before they had a chance to commit a crime.
