Wiretap ? or Data Mining

NSA "domestic spying" flap

Personally, there is a difference.
Not concerned that "Big Brother" is listening in on my conversations. Nothing of interest being said.

Data mining basically looks for patterns, not specific conversations ... unless such conversations are about threats to "National Security"
Just like blogs ... most are not worth the pixels that display them.
