Of course they are!!! Boy, I sure would love to watch the person assigned to read mine... BORING!!!! lol.
Although I have nothing to hide, not even my opinions, I DO NOT think that what I say to whomever I say it to is anyone's business but my own.
But think of the BIG PICTURE here, they really don't read them all, I personally think they have some sort of 'filter' set up to red-flag keywords, and THEN they read it. With the multi-million people using computers for businesses and personal use, there isn't much of a way to keep up without something like that.
The thing is, the people who actually mean HARM would develop some sort of code to pass under the filter, wouldn't they? I know, I know, I watch way too much TV! lol

Why do you think they call it 'Spam'?
Probably a e-mail filter that glams on to certain phrases from certain locations -- Dearborne, Warziristan, Baluchistan, certain banlieus outside of Macon, etc. or porn with steganographic message from the same areas. Obtained from satellite transmission from most of these ares -- outside US. US, nor any government, has the resources to examine even one percent of all e-mail. Similar programs were used by US and USSR during the cold war.
Yes they do monitor it. There is a program called Carnivore, but I think it has been upgraded. Probably do a search and find out.
In any event, watch what you say/type, you could just open yourself an NSA file....

An old joke, if you use the Freedom of Information Act to access your FBI file and get nothing -- don't worry. Now, they will have a file on you!

RE: Government reading my e-mail
I realize I will catch heck for this one, but I'll say it anyway.
I'd rather my e-mails be read when I'm up to nothing, than "their" e-mails not read when they're up to something.

hey let them read away on mine, those stiff necks need a good chuckle and I have some friends that dig up some of the best jokes that keep my mail full everyday
