What a random question xD But it's unwarranted searching and seizure of information, the search being through emails/phone calls and the information being what people have said/typed. Unwarranted search and seizure is illegal in America, but if they want to break their own laws, fine, whatever. But then Americans who talk to others outside their country are dragged into this NSA monitoring shit too, when they're not even American citizens.

Anyway, I'm not some nut who thinks every conversation ever is recorded, no group can ever hope to be massive enough to monitor /everything/. But some conversations are indeed monitored, without a warrant. Since people have consistently been prosecuted for illegitimate reasons in America, unwarranted searches that can retrieve out-of-context quotes is the last thing anyone needs. The NSA compromises their safety as the info they gather can be used in America's broken Justice System to put innocent people behind bars.
