Given the federal government's past behavior regarding domestic communication, I think it might be more prudent to behave on the assumption that they ARE spying on us all the time. They tell us that they only look at the info they've collected about us if is connected with communications with overseas persons of interest -- but that implies that they will have already collected it. It's the only convenient way to have a well-populated history of activity for $Person.
