Spying unconstitutional even if citizens are aware

Editor,

The FBI has been able to listen in on our phone conversations without a warrant through wiretapping for the past five years. How much longer is this supposed to go on? The Constitution says the police can't search you without a warrant. I think this goes for wiretapping, too. I don't want police spying on me. That is unconstitutional. What is this, the cherry atop a totalitarian-regime sundae?

What's more, they're telling us about it. That is like Philip Morris slapping a surgeon general's warning on cigarette packs or European countries putting "smoking kills" on cigarette packs. It's suddenly OK as long as you know you're being tortured on purpose.

Why are we suddenly living by the savage rules of the very countries we're out to reform? Are we trying to reform them into what we only used to be?
