If you are one such American, please consider the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), passed in 1994 during the Clinton administration.

The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) is a United States wiretapping law mandating telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment modify and design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have built-in surveillance capabilities, allowing federal agencies to monitor all telephone, broadband internet, and VoIP traffic.

Its right there in the act! Every new electronic device you own is bugged and has been for at least 20 years!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was central to CALEA's creation. They claimed to be worried that increasing use of digital telephone exchange switches would make tapping phones at the phone company's central office harder and slower to execute, or in some cases impossible.
