In my opinion, yes it is, especially without a warrant.... it provides the beginnings of a slippery slope of more violations of rights... and whats to say, they hear a conversation of a private nature of you(just a place holder, don't mean you specifically) talking with a good friend about you catching your son smoking pot... the next thing you know there is a knock on your door from your local friendly DEA agent who wants to search your home for illicit drugs, and since they have you talking about it on tape, they don't need a wartant anymore, as they could probably argue probable cause, after all, your son might be dealing too unknown to you.... and the government is only out to protect you and the community from yourself... this is the possible end result of the slippery slope that you do not find unreasonable... after all, since you have a friend that is a terrorism suspect unbecknownst to you, all your rights are now belong to the government...
