I believe that the government should be able to monitor our phone calls and other kinds of information that could help protect us from future casualties. I don't believe the government pay attention to most people's personal calls or what some would call "secrets" to themselves. The government is only looking for specific things that appear in a conversation, and if those things don't appear it's useless to them.
Even though some of my securities are being disturbed at least I know I can be protected from something that may appear in the future. Actually the increase in security was showed as a positive when the infamous underwear bomber was stopped because of America's maximum security. If the security wasn't there then something bad could've happened.
