| Message | People have a right to privacy, but the state may need to keep track of suspected terrorists and alike.. And I don't think they're likely to ever voluntary give out information to the justice. Therefore, the police or the federal intelligence service should be able to follow people, monitoring them.. Though, they can't wiretap everyone, they should be a good reason for it why they want to monitor a certain individual. |

| Message | And if we have to get warrents to see what terrorists are up to, they'll either strike sooner or change their plans. If they do, then all that we have garnered would be for naught and thus force the government to start over. |
