On another note, if someone is being watched/monitored, just do the right thing, mind your own business and eventually you should be left alone. These secret agencies are far too busy to show any one individual too much attention. They are seriously understaffed at the moment though 'that is most likely by 'design'. There are over 1 million Americans on the 'watch' list. Just try to do the right thing and the crows will soar elsewhere.

Be careful what you say on your cell phone.
My friend, whos best friend works for the government, said every single cell phone is tapped, and they will listen in your conversation when key words are said.
Lets hope that isnt true. If it is.. We definitely don't live in a free society.

You're thinking of the information revealed in the NJ Mafia prosecutions:
news.zdnet.com...
And various terrorism cases:

And also, Mark Klein's revelations about AT&T and the NSA:

That should get you started, and give you some google search phrases. Enjoy.

Thanks but I remember seeing news reports that seemed a little more specific.
In San Francisco the "secret room" is Room 641A at 611 Folsom Street, the site of a large SBC phone building, three floors of which are occupied by AT&T. High-speed fiber-optic circuits come in on the 8th floor and run down to the 7th floor where they connect to routers for AT&T's WorldNet service, part of the latter's vital "Common Backbone." In order to snoop on these circuits, a special cabinet was installed and cabled to the "secret room" on the 6th floor to monitor the information going through the circuits. (The location code of the cabinet is 070177.04, which denotes the 7th floor, aisle 177 and bay 04.) The "secret room" itself is roughly 24-by-48 feet, containing perhaps a dozen cabinets including such equipment as Sun servers and two Juniper routers, plus an industrial-size air conditioner.
But thanks, I am sure all that is in there but you know how it is, internet, attention spans, pretty moving pictures that last less than 30 seconds.
