Episode Teaser Image: 
Episode Description: 
A recent estimate says 30,000 electronic surveillance orders are issued each year in federal courts. And unless the orders lead to actual charges, the person being watched doesn't know. You might think, well, I'm no criminal, they're not watching me -- but not so fast. We take a look at the legality of the whole situation. Plus, another edition of Tech Report Theater.
