If the Americans were spying on foreign powers, or even my country's politicians I really would not be surprised.

For some reason they appear to be spying on me, specifically.

I do find that surprising, yes. Shocking, even.

Scary, certainly. What will they do if I say something they don't like? How will I know? Who is deciding whether what I am saying is acceptable?

Because I am against this spying, have the Americans started monitoring me more carefully? Will they contact my government for more information?

My job is contractor to a local business that receives a lot of business from my government. Could that be affected by my private communications? One of my friends is a bit of an anti US nut. Will my communications with him put me at greater risk?
