I see our Security Minister - Lord West, seems to think all this sort of thing, reading what we are doing, is normal and happening already.
On the BBC Tech site, he's quoted as saying;

"People must realise - and I used to say this within the Navy - there will be more people look at your internet information than look at a postcard when you write it," he told the House of Lords.

"People tend to forget that - and [that] it is used for quite legal purposes, some of it."

They really do appear to want to monitor absolutely everything that passes for communications.
