Okay so a "state" or government has the ability to monitor people. Possibly via phone tapping, internet tapping or foot tapping until you tell them stuff. I'm just asking how much should they actually be entitled to do, and what has to be done before it. I mean, citizens have a right to privacy, but the state probably also has a responsibility to protect it's citizens from the bombzors. Should they require a warrant or can they just collect information beforehand and use machines to look for suspicious activity? That kind of thing.

I'd give my opinion on the matter, but we all know how well that turns out.
