I wonder if it's a matter of apathy or if they genuinely like that idea. Most people I talk to about this say "I don't even want to know" or "who cares". They just find the whole thing difficult or painful to even consider as they're so attached to the technology as it is. They don't want to do anything differently when it comes to privacy.
Using the "nothing to hide" fallacy is bad enough (general warrants are still unconstitutional), but if you think the intelligence agencies only investigate "a large scale serious crime operation" then you should really do more research on what those agencies have been doing over the last decade.
"...you should really do more research on what those agencies have been doing over the last decade."
Can you point somewhere out that shows what they have been doing, as I would be genuinely interested?
I doubt I do anything interesting enough for the government to bother about. But I do hold non-mainstream / controversial opinions about certain things, and I am careful about who I actually discuss them with, I certainly don't post them on Facebook or send them in emails. I wonder if I should be more worried than I am.
