>I don't understand the upset for "warrantless wire-tapping" unless you have something to hide, especially when these days people are begging the government to protect us from extremists/terrorists and not sit on their hands.
Okay. Let's assume for the moment that you "have nothing to hide."
Let's go to your house and set up cameras and microphones covering the premises.
Then, let's do the same for your automobile(s).
And for good measure, let's have you wear a microphone 24/7 too.
Once that's done, we can set up a website where we can all watch/listen to you.
If you have nothing to hide, that should be no big deal, right?
What's that? You don't consent to such monitoring? Why? Do you have something to hide?

Having a system for counter-terrorism agencies to check phone logs for keywords is vastly different from setting up cameras in everyones houses for the world to see. I'm not even sure how anyone would think that's remotely similar.
