You're so off base!!!

"I havent given you any reason to think that i may be a terrorist, but if listening to my calls will prove my innocence... go ahead!!"

NO! That's not how the government works here. Maybe elsewhere. But not here. In the U.S.A., you're innocent until proven guilty. Probable cause is required, then a warrant, and *then* a search or seizure may take place:

The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

That's pretty clear...and not the least ambiguous.
