People are getting WAY to paranoid. They are not monitoring the average person's activity - it would be impossible to cover everyone's electronic activity on a daily basis - - and really to what purpose would it service. You would have billions upon billions of electronic data that would have to be analized. They are looking for a threats to America. They aren't looking at the fact that you paid your cable bill late, that you are cheating on your girl/boy friend, what your bank account number is....OMG that person plays EVE Online they must be evil...or FFXi online, or WoW or SWTOR. Get real and get a freaking grip people. They are looking for real threats, not looking to be peeping toms. If they WANTED to know your bank account and personal business, it's not hard for them to find out if you are a US Citizen. Certain records are always open to government agencies. I worked as an accountant for the government. One of the other accountants in my unit was caught stealing money. Even though I was the one that caught how she was doing it and took the information to management, I found out after the fact that I my accounts, credit, bank, etc were all looked at very closely - - - and guess what. I didn't care. I had nothing to hide so them running a check on my personal checking accounting surprised me, but didn't bother me.

So get a freaking grip - - back of the paranoia crazy train - - unless you have something to hide that will effect national security, this will not effect you in the slighest.
