Think of it like this.

The Constitution does not clearly state that all people are entitled to privacy but it's implied. The fact that any one person's phone is being tapped means that their rights are being violated. if any one eprson's right are violated it leaves room for someone else (like me) to have their rights violated.

And I can't imagine the government tapping justa nyone's phone. So maybe people that leave the country frequently (like me) or people who might have ties or share cultural backgrounds with al qaida. But that's discriminatory if you ask me.
