I guess I'm watching fox news. They're saying NY times posted news that the government monitors bank transactions to track terrorists. The talkshow host and guests argue about the legitimacy of such tactics. Mostly, one woman starts to talk about civil liberties and some guy in a suit keeps interrupting her.

"look at her, she can't even finish a sentence. she's an idiot."

And what difference does it make if someone watches your bank account, listens in to everything you have been doing. So long as you haven't been doing anything bad, you have nothing to worry about, right?
