If you regard your privacy that highly that the very small change that the NSA will bug your Amazon Echo, then sure, don't buy it.
But the NSA/FBI/Virgina Police can:
get my emails from google
get my emails from my work
get my emails off my phone
read my texts, pix, and other cell phone information
listen to my phone calls
hack my shittily exposed to teh internet home server
get my facebook information
tap my ISP
search my house when I'm not there
bug my house
If they can force Amazon to record me against my will, they can force apple to. Or leveno to record on my laptop. Or the Xbox Kinect on my TV. If I were plotting to join ISIS, yea probably a bad move. Otherwise it's a very minor threat.
