Relative in military claims all internet traffic being monitored by government

Said even emails and phones are being monitored.

I thought the government needed a search warrant to do that?

Anyone know?

Yes everything is recorded.
Here is a good one for you.
Your phone, tablet, laptop, security cameras etc where ever you carry that camera its taking pics, like of inside of your old root celler, your basement, your bedroom, your bathroom. Its all kept on storage media. Then when the govt wants oo, they put a couple guys in virtual reality goggles and they walk around inside your private home or places virtually and look for things to report about what you have had inside your private dwellings and other places. See? Love that sometimes they can even read notes on the counterrefrigerator too. too.
