No because thats invading personal space. They can't do that unless you commit a bad felony. i think the government needs to mind their own business and stay out of peoples personal space.

No i do not believe the government should have the right to monitor supicious individuals. i do not believe this because everyone has the right to their own privacy. every citizen of america has the right as everyone else so to monitor would be taking away theor amenments.

What's this world coming to?? They Tap our phones and stuff. I think people should be free to do whatever they want. I'm not saying they should be allowed to do criminal stuff. But they should not take away their privacy. It's almost like an unalieable right. It wasn't in the constution only because it was unthinkable. Thomas would have been like "IN WHAT WORLD!?!?"

Side: No
