Tech News World : Feds Seek Sweeping Power to Hunt Bad Guys on the Web

"Federal law-enforcement organizations are working to draw up legislation that would give them the ability to monitor communications carried out via Internet technologies like peer-to-peer messaging and encrypted email. Agencies would still need to obtain a warrant for any given operation, but such a law could make it easier to for them to plug into these channels once permission is granted." ~Richard Adhikari

This should raise even more alarms for the those conspiracy theorists. AH! Big Brother is watching and listening again. I better put on my tinfoil hat........   I am not one of the theorists but I do not think that for one moment they aren't doing this to everyone already. If you are, please do not be so naive. This is an attempt to make it legal for them anyway. Even if they are not, I do not want them to get this kind of power.
