... everything you do online and everything you do through your bank is readily available to the scrutiny of any LEO who can make judgement calls about "national security" - which means that maybe the Sewer Department will cite the Patriot Act if your toilet blocks up and floods more than three American households on your block.
I exaggerate of course, but you probably get the gist, and this is just conversation, right?
The local Sewer Dept. cannot invoke national security. If they think those stopped-up toilets are jeopardizing national security, they would need to involve a federal agency.
I think it was the Ninth Circuit that recently ruled that e-mail has no expectation of privacy. It's just bits traveling down the highway and they can trap copies as they go by. Instead of a wiretap or a subpeona or search warrant ... now all they need are some strategically placed switches on the internet backbones running big storage and they can store everything and sift through it later when they know what they're looking for. All the TCP/IP packets of this post are public information.
