David Cameron: "I am all ears"

Considering the popularity of shows like Big Brother in the UK and people's propensity for self-exposure on the internet against their better judgment, perhaps it's not that surprising to learn of David Cameron's sweeping proposals following the Paris atrocities to basically indiscriminately eavesdrop on any citizen at any time. Not that this would in any way stop any determined terrorist of course, they know better than that, but some grandstanding is always welcomed in view of imminent elections.
