I seriously hope you're just pulling a joke here. Does the words industrial espionage has any meaning to you ? And even more importantly, the word privacy. There is a reason why the police etc. needs permission from a jugde before they are allowed to tap into a phoneline. Furthermore, that the US "is" monitoring other nations populations correspondance etc. is NOT alright, but breaking the international laws, which makes USA nothing but a crimal nation. Don't come up with any nonsense that the system wouldn't be abused to gain industrial knowlegde to get patents etc. It would.
