Wiretapping is the act of monitoring telephone and internet conversations by a third party.
Wiretapping in the US
The government, intelligence agencies, and police of the United States daily use this for the purpose of stopping terrorism and drugs. Both some liberals and some conservative patriots claim this can sometimes be an invasion of their privacy. Nevertheless, wiretapping has resulted in multiple arrests of drug dealers and terrorists [1]. It is occasionally asked by the big government types what those who don't support wiretapping have to hide from the federal government.
