All Governments democratic, or otherwise would love to be able to watch every citizen every hour of every day but funding that would be incredibly expensive. What tends to happen is the Government uses various information gathering agencies to assess which organisations, and individuals pose the greatest threat to stability, and prioritise surveliance, and other operations based on that criteria.

I would love to think that the government would just look at the people that oppose the government but according to the Washington Post in the original Bush administration scandal it was revealed that the NSA logged over 10 million American citizens phones (www.washingtonpost.com...). It's not that expensive. Our government has the technology to do that. And, anyone can be watched at any time. It really is as bad as people say it is.edit on 2-12-2012 by Frankidealist35 because: (no reason given)

I consider myself an activist I mean I've been to a few rallies myself in my time the past few years. I have signed petitions. But, I have never been aware that people could actually be monitoring me when I go to those activities. It's something that I'll keep in mind.
