You'll never convince me that they can do that.

ECHELON

This thing supposedly intercepts all of our electronic communication.

Yes, it might intercept and log it....but nobody will ever get around to reading it all. I would think that they have a list of "hot" words. When a certain number of those words shows up in an email they flag it for reading.

That's my guess.
