The PATRIOT Act has pros and cons, and one of the cons is that they can listen to pretty much any phone conversation. But unless you are making repeated calls to the Middle East or to other known areas where terrorist groups are, you shouldn't worry too much about it.

I can listen to your cell phone calls. I just have to buy the proper equipment. But there are billions of conversations out there and unless one of the many key words are picked up by the computer that is monitoring the calls is spoken then they are ignored. That is if they are even being monitored.

I really don't think that some 24-year-old H.S. agent will care.

Google this "total information awareness". This will answer your question. And make you want to vomit.
