Should the government be able to listen in to our homes to keep us safe?

No way, that would violate a lot of peoples privacy.  No one could feel totally secure when talking about a matter with anybody, whether it be against the government or something else. Overall, having the government listen in on everything we say and do is a bad idea. Its a bad idea because there could be a lot of false arrest and such from people just joking around. It would also feel like Hitlers secret police, the government could have random people listening on the streets and reporting any matters to the government.
