This comment was posted at Thread: How much should a state monitor its citizens?.
Only with reason (the government shouldn't just monitor people for its own sake), and then only non-invasively (invasive methods such as police searches and whatever the NSA does are bad).
Why with reason? If they think someone could be suspect, they can monitor the person for terrorist and crime threats, but nothing personal.
A warrant counts as one of the things for reason.
