A servant should not eavesdrop at the door of his master. When they do, they get fired. I can, however, see why a master might send his servant to eavesdrop on somebody else! In time of war or great international tension, the State has a responsibility to know its enemy as well as possible, and that will inevitably involve intercepting enemy signals traffic. So no, the NSA (or, in my case, GCHQ) has no business reading our email. But if Britain were to go to war with the USA, the NSA could read mine, and GCHQ could read yours, and I wouldn't have a problem with that.
