Is our privacy almost gone?

This is a huge invasion on our privacy, this is going to invade more on our privacy then it is suppose to help us.

-"We took an oath to defend the country from all enemies, foreign and domestic," Pelosi said. "Good intelligence is necessary for us to know the plans of the terrorists, so we can't not have a bill."

Is a quote from the House Speaker when this bill was passed. You think this is bad enough? The new Telecom bill allows the National Security Agency to order phone companies, ISPs and online service providers to turn over all communications that have one foreigner as a party to the conversation (pretty intrusive already). If any Americans are party to the conversation, the government is supposed to mask their names, but these procedures to minimize privacy-invasion are easily overridden. The longstanding Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act required specific court orders to wiretap phone and internet lines inside the United States, but did not regulate spying conducted on non-U.S. soil.

Many people are already supporting the bill, and believe me when I tell you, it is not the people of the US. What would you think of this? Is this something that is suppose to help us? I see no way that this will help us except in some ways but mainly our privacy is already taken away.
