He Said, Shia Said: Speaking Of Government Wiretapping, 2008
From CBC.ca, Shia LaBoeuf on government wiretapping from five years ago:
Shia warned us. In 2008, he was promoting his film Eagle Eye, a movie about a mysterious stranger who listens in on phone calls. In the interview above, he tells Tonight Show host Jay Leno that the movie's FBI consultant warned him the government was doing the very same thing."He told me that one in five phone calls that you make are recorded and logged, and I laughed at him and then he played back a phone conversation I'd had two years prior," LaBeouf told Leno.
The host's response? "Extremely creepy," and then the subject is dropped.

Highly recommend watching the German movie "The Lives of Others" if you'd like a sense of what this surveillance does to a society.
