I pretty much expect that anytime I use the internet my communications are being monitored - maybe not by the governement, but probably my employer, and various communications, media, and marketing firms.
Sure there's stuff I say and do that I hope remain private, but I aknowledge that it may well be beyond my control.
That said, this fear of "infiltration" reminds me unpleasently of the McCarthy era.
If we do have the best system of government in the world, it would be nice to let it work the way it's supposed to without the behind the scenes manipulations.
