Wanted: Snowden

If Mr. Snowden is a wanted man, that is a shame. I thought he would get a ton of whistle blower money. Oh, but you can't blow the whistle on your own government spying taping your every call and internet stroke. If that is so, I had forgotten a phone conversation from a few years ago, and wondered if they may be able to dig that up for reference.
I don't feel that it is unreasonable that they are checking on our phone conversations after 9-11, but find it unreasonable that they are violating my reasonable rights to privacy. I can see if they had computers set up to grab certain key words, like Jihad, or Bin Laden. I would expect them to key in on that particular conversation. I don't expect them to listen to my family recipe secrets. That is completely too far.
