Yeah and the "power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" thing.

There may actually be more of a backlash to this than the phone call thing. The "targets" for this snooping are mostly the "big money people"... and if there is anything the "big money people" don't like it's others (especially the government) knowing what they are doing with their money.
