Watch me. Tap my phones. I don't care. If I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to worry about.

You'll probably think that my answer is improper, but the thing is: you've got to read up on George Orwell's 1984. What we are experiencing now is that "Big Brother" utilizes all of the know-how which is now available, simply in order to keep a check on people who might -- today or in the future -- cause problems to the sitting regime.
