There will be costs to all of us, but at some point the US is costing more than it's saving us. I think we must be close to that point if not already past it.
That is a statement that can't even be backed up with anything but conjecture.
How would you even start measuring the cost/benefit ratio? What monetary value do you assign to things like privacy? How do you know where you're moving things to doesn't have a "better hidden" equivalent to what the US is doing? Do you even know if it would be worth moving things? What is the opportunity cost to moving? What is the cost if you're wrong?
As much as I'd love to agree with the pathos response to these things, its better to see and wait than to kneejerk react to things.
