When you listen in to phone calls, which have an expectation of privacy

Sure, when you tap someone's line and listen to what that person is saying. But if you listen in on some big pipe and catch snippets of what bunches of anonymous people are saying, that's not quite the same. If you come down the pipe saying "daughter's flute lesson" followed by me saying "too hot to exercise" followed by someone else saying "scored two goals" and someone else saying "$@^%!," how is your privacy compromised? It's not until they attribute that snippet to you that your privacy comes into play. While you may feel you have an expectation of privacy for your anonymous snippet, I can't see how your privacy is invaded by some computer registering that someone out there in the ether said "daughter's flute lesson."
