People don't listen to your conversations, computers do. They are then transcribed and archived in a google like searchable format for eternity. In the future if you become suspect, an analyst will be able to recall everything you said on phone and online.

It's a hugely powerful tool that can be used for blackmail and cointelpro like programs.

To assume this powerful tool is used for terrorist hunting alone is naive.

This is like j Edgar's secret files on steroids x 100000.
