They should not monitor phone call or emails. However, if a person has history of criminal activities and terrorism. They have lost their rights to privacy therefore, it should be monitored

Yes but ONLY for those who may be involved in terrorism or crime. If no evidence can be found after a period of a month or two then all surveillance must be stopped at once.
