The KGB and spy agencies of old used to need to assign agents to sit outside your house to watch you.

The NSA is a different breed of agency, who can now record whatever everyone reads, hears or says and keep these records almost forever.

The CIA/NSA of old had to do similar things. Do you not think China or Russia are doing similar things? I'm sure theres a reason Huawei equipment has been blocked in US, UK, and even some Indian contracts.
