How many of you use a telephone in the United States? Tell me how this is any different from that? Just about every form of communication is monitored in the US; warrants are required so the tinfoil hat needs some adjustment.
I don't understand why there is this opinion that the internet should be completely different. For some reason, a lot of people seem to expect that it should be this wild country where everything is ok and no one has a right to monitor anything.
That said, if this were warrantless (and nothing I've seen indicates that it is), I'd agree that it's a bad thing.
