There are hard technological limits to what can be snooped on: some forms of encryption are in practice impossible even for governments to crack; but the social and legal limits of privacy matter more. A right to privacy is a gesture of respect for another person, and technology knows nothing of respect. It can only answer questions of power: is the thing possible? Not the very different question: ought this thing to be done?
