They claim "the sky is falling" and we have to listen to all these people without a warrant because of it, and people like you buy into it. Not even thinking that the purpose of a "warrant" is often to get the government to show JUST CAUSE for listening in.
If the government cannot show a just cause for WHY they think "the sky is falling" in association with their suspect, the constitution mandates that they not be allowed to invade the person's privacy.
But you're so afraid of the sky falling that you want them to do it anyways.
