Who are they really after?

The FBI acknowledged Wednesday it improperly accessed Americans' telephone records, credit reports and Internet traffic in 2006, the fourth straight year of privacy abuses resulting from investigations aimed at tracking terrorists and spies.

Get serious here folks. Any evil-doer in the world already knows that their telephone, e-mail, and ever regular mail communications are being monitored, and they act accordingly.
The only people the FBI(DHS) are going after are ordinary Americans who have nothing to do with terrorism.
