Our government employees work for WE THE PEOPLE. Anything they do or say should also be in the public domain. I suggest we install internet video cameras and microphones in all public offices and meeting rooms and bug all government employee phones including cell phones. All of this information including their emails should be uploaded to the internet in real time and be made available to anyone who might want to monitor the actions of our employees. If they are going to unconstitutionally invade our privacy through the updated FISA law, then we should do the same to them. although, in this case, I don't think monitoring our governmental employees would be illegal. Instead, it would be similar to good parenting. After all, they work for us and thus we have a fiduciary responsibility to monitor their actions to prevent the current abuses going on at the federal level. The only exceptions should be those that concern national security or ongoing criminal investigations. Why stop there?
