The [[police state|government]], [[NSA|intelligence agencies]], and [[police]] of the [[United States]] daily use this for the purpose of stopping [[terrorism]] and [[drugs]]. Both some [[liberal]]s and some [[conservative]] [[patriot]]s claim this can sometimes be an invasion of their [[privacy]]. Nevertheless, wiretapping has resulted in multiple arrests of [[War of Drugs|drug dealers]] and [[War on Terror|terrorists]] <ref>http://www.projo.com/news/content/providence_police_arraigned_03-06-10_M5HM8N0_v46.39894a3.html</ref>. It is occasionally asked by the [[big government]] types what those who don't support wiretapping have to hide from the [[federal government]].

==Why Does Pervasive Domestic Wiretapping of Law-Abiding Citizens Matter to Conservatives?==
This apt quote best explains the reason why it matters to many [[patriot]] [[conservative]]s and [[veteran]]s, who are inherently against [[big government]], that there is a 21st century trend, as revealed by [[Edward Snowden]] and others, towards [[police state]]-like monitoring by both the Federal government and business like [[Google]] via "wiretap" of law-abiding citizen's internet, [[smartphone]] and smart television (Amazon FireTV, Roku and AppleTV) activity:
* "The progress of [[science]] in furnishing the [[big government|government]] with means of [[espionage]] is not likely to stop with [[wiretap]]ping. Ways may some day be developed by which the [[Police state|government]], without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a [[jury]] the most intimate occurrences of the home. Advances in the psychic and related sciences may bring means of exploring unexpressed beliefs, thoughts and emotions. 'That places the [[liberty]] of every man in the hands of every [[tyrant|petty officer]]' was said by James Otis of much lesser intrusions than these. 1 To Lord Camden a far slighter intrusion seemed '[[subversive]] of all the comforts of society.' Can it be that the [[Constitution]] affords no protection against such invasions of [[Fourth Amendment|individual security]]?"
