And possibly not but so what? Any government agency who cares to listen to my 
daily interactions is more than welcome - they'd die of boredom inside an hour 
or two. An I suspect that the same goes for just about every member of this

to bloody well care.
I don't have (m)any conversations that require me to place my phone in the 
fridge and turn on the taps - I'm not that important, or scared or just plain 
nuts.
