I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'm extremely comforted in knowing that there are certain parts of the government that don't have to pay attention to, or adhere to, the laws that the rest of the people must adhere to or face prison. If a citizen was caught "monitoring" the phone calls, texts, and computer traffic of the head of the NSA, how many years in prison would HE get? That is, if you ever heard about him or his "activities". Most likely, he would just be killed. In an "accidental" fire, car crash, or sudden "heart attack".
