Dude, long before the current climate of paranoia and unfettered FBI harassment, I was active in multiple leftist organisations, all of whose members were continuously wiretapped by the FBI (indeed, one of these organisations was formally classified as a 'terrorist' organisation despite our charter, which committed us to achieving our goals through creative non-violent resistance as promoted by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.). If they were doing that then, we can only imagine what sort of abuse they believe they can get away with now. Don't be naïve -- the FBI is an evil, abusive organisation that recognises no constraints on their behaviour.
