*Starts* eavesdropping? Where you been, Bubba?
  When a Company has the 'right' to wiretap you, search you, and make

This is plain and simple bullshit. There are a variety of differences
between a government and what they can do by general charter in a democracy
and a company which operates on specific contracts.
