"They" don't give two greasy hoots about what you do. They aren't "watching you" unless you are publicly and vocally seeking to make bombs (buying supplies, downloading plans, talking about it on forums, etc.), trying to make connections with violent people, trying to get the blueprints of federal buildings, etc. etc.
Stop being so paranoid - your life is most likely very boring, and of no practical concern to those who monitor your communications. If you are planning something revolutionary, keep it to yourself - it has a better chance of succeeding.
If you criticize power institutions or their figureheads and the wars they fight, your lack of privacy, a biased media, and so on - you're just like a majority of other people. You're small potatoes. Yes, technology is monitored. Don't share anything personal online, period. Don't do anything stupid like Google "How do I make a napalm-filled hat, and what is Obama's headsize?"
My point is, don't worry about this stuff too much (unless you're part of an unfortunate group of racially profiled "Others"). On principle, it sucks that some powerful groups feel they can't trust society and feel that humanity must be monitored - I agree that this is not what freedom, rights, or human decency and dignity consists of.
BUT, if you:
a) can't conceivably and concretely change the course of events that you find oppressive, and
b) aren't doing anything dangerous or obviously suspicious, then why worry so much about this stuff?
And if you actually CAN do a), keep your plans away from modern technology so black choppers don't show up at your door before you put your plan into actionedit on 20-11-2011 by pforkp because: (no reason given)
then why worry so much about this stuff?

There was a time that I was concerned about them watching and listening not that I was doing anything, It is just the idea that there is a sick voyeur out there getting off on your personal life.

They don't spy on you unless you make the watch list.
Government waste of money when it could go into better things like
education and health care.
All that government spying is a waste of precious dollars.

Mind you, I don't like the TSA, nor the Patriot Act, but I do like knowing loss of life can be prevented with their uses.

Its people like you that have Ben Franklin rolling over in his grave. The TSA has done NOTHING to stop any bombers. They even let guns slip by. They are too busy felling up and strip searching children and old ladies while they steal your valuables, play god and even rape. Think I am kidding?
Just google TSA Agent Arrest and see just what kind of people are keeping you safe
As for the "Patriot" act that is for hassling patriots. They are already stopping random cars on the highway (Tennessee)
