The problem here is they're probably speaking about domestically.  Now if 
you're doing business internationally with employees who travel abroad then 
you're talking about something else.

I'd argue that the vast majority of "wiretapping" isn't done officially
by the Government.

There's more money to be made in stealing your company secrets or
mis-using your resources than trying to put you in jail.

There's no reason to fear legal wiretaps, unless you're doing something that
makes them want to get a wiretap warrant.

Things you *do* need to fear:

1) Illegal wiretaps, warrantless wiretaps, and wholesale hoovering of your
network data just because one of your employees is the wrong color or wrong
political party, or just because they are worried about "terrorists".

2) Abuse of the legally mandated CALEA infrastructure by a hacker.

Kelly - you should always ignore anyone that falls back to the "if
you've nothing to hide then you've nothing to fear" argument. It's
complete bollocks.

Yes, you should be concerned with wiretapping. The one thing that we've
seen throughout history is that once power is given, it is abused. Given
the number of abuses of the powers granted by the Patriot Act over the
last few years, I see no evidence to suggest that any American entity
(company or private individual) should not be concerned with
wiretapping. Non-US companies are always fair game so at least they have
the comfort of knowing they are probably being listened in on. Domestic
companies are supposedly "protected" but, again, the documented abuses
of the Patriot Act suggest otherwise.

There are two things to remember. What is considered legal and just
today may be considered illegal and treasonous tomorrow and once we
accept that it's ok to listen in on phone calls at the corporate level,
how long until that extends to private life? There is a reason we have
the "slippery slope" argument being made.

Besides, would you want someone listening in on your scientists and
engineers discussing trade secrets?
