If they feel the need, I have no problem with it.  You see, I have nothing
to hide.  The most "they" could find out is that I am head-over-heels
in love with my wife. Long distance calls can be flagged without listening
in, and since I do all my industrial espionage at home (where they have
no right to listen in without that warrant), they won't catch me giving
away any secrets.
