    You would need to elaborate a little.

    If it were for the benefit of stopping a terrorist attack it would be well worth it.

    well they wont be able to prosecute based on the information gathered without a warrant but they will know who to monitor with a warrant if they find something the first time around.

    SO that's the main purpose of it then?

    If you have nothing to hide then nothing to worry about.

    But the way the world is going its a good thing people suspected of doing or planning an attack for example would be ideal targets for such use.

    Eavesdropping is very different to tapping.
