I'm sure the usual suspects will be in here to claim it's no big deal but here is a second instance of the government spying on the media.
Ok Fox news.
Whether it is the government spying at you - some services of a certain kind tend to do that without authorization, and higher knowing.

But yes, since 9/11 the US live in a state of war, and with that all kind of eavesdropping etc. has become legal. Such things are usually allowed, in a war.
In Germany we do not need it though, we are being eavesdropped without a pretext, and most do not mind. As the people in London do not mind the surveillance cameras, and they being eavesdropped.

And, b.t.w. as i linked in another post, in the US the NSA indeed records every eMail, and every telephone call. It is not personally listened to unless there is something 'suspect' found by the algorythms used, but yes all can be read and listened to, anytime.
The new intelligence center that made this possible is in Wyoming, and i am sure you heard about it.
