Hmm, not to say they should or you should like it..

But..

Would you care if the NSA read your email?

And if you feel the NSA so much, why wouldn't you take precautions to stop

Sooner or later, a country that spies on its neighbors will turn on its own
people, violating their privacy, stealing their liberties.

President Bush's grab for unchecked eavesdropping powers is the culmination
of what the National Security Agency(NSA) has spent forty years doing unto
others.

And if you're upset by the idea of NSA tapping your phone, be advised NSA
likely can also read your Windows software to access your computer.

European investigative reporter Duncan Campbell claimed NSA had arranged
with Microsoft to insert special "keys" in Windows software starting with
versions from 95-OSR2 onwards.
