The first poster misunderstands. The argument is that you wiretap in order to find out if there's a threat to national security or not...So many innocent people are effectively going to be spied on 'just in case'. Look at recent developments in London. There's no way to ensure measures will be used only against the right people (who happen, of course, to be the wrong people). Therefore, you can't be ok with this.
