What if your dinner table conversation was about planning some kind of protest, say to confront the local mayor about some abuse of government power? Would you still have that conversation if you knew there was a liklihood that the mayor could end up with tapes of your conversation? And what if your protest was going to be mildy illegal (say, a congregation in a public place for which police permission had been denied)?
If you did protest you'd be in a public place where everyone could see you.

I wasn't that bothered when I saw the headline. However, once I noticed he was British... Nice to see someone's keeping oursides rep up.
