i don't think they are "tapped" like what they show in the old movies, as much as they simply recorded, compiled, and analyzed on computers.

and don't forget the data transmissions.

1. Not really
I figure they would have come after me by now - and I plan on leaving before they actually do.

Always!

4. Peggy-
You probably use words like:
Dear,
Beautiful,
Hugs,
Love,
Ocean,
Kisses...


All of which are on the CIA's watch/listen list

Be very afraid

3. I have a former non-political friend who voted for the first time in 2004
and she calls me screaming about how she hates * and why. It's quite unnerving, but hilarious.

5. Once, while talking on my cell...
..with my sister, we jokingly used as many "key words" as we could..."kilo, bomb, spy, etc." Right in the middle of joking about it, there was a very loud "buzzzz" sound followed by just a dial tone...and the phone(s) disconnected! I called my sister back and said, "Did you hear that?!" She heard the very same loud "buzzz" just before we were mysteriously disconnected!

I'm sure both of us are on some special list, somewhere, now! Probably not the smartest thing to do in today's environment.

:rofl:

6. Not really
Why should I let *them* stop me from living my life. I don't have much to hide anyway.

8. Anyone who feels like he or she has to "watch what we say", doesn't really
have the stones to live in this country. Speaking our minds, come Hell or high water, is our birthright as Americans. And no jumped-up Connnecticut-cocaine cowboy with shit for brains, and shits for parents, and who has only ever succeeded at being a failure, is going to take that away from ME, that's for DAMN sure!

Here I am, assholes! Come for this proud American and see what happens! I'll shit on your GRAVES!!!



LIBERAL TILL I DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!







...sorry...got a little carried away, there... :blush:

9. Nope. In fact, I often say "Hi" to Agent Mike.
Not saying that I think spying on Americans is funny; it isn't. But I say hi just the same.
