Survelance of private citizens has been going on for years, and the only reason it is an issue now is that the media needs something to do. Why worry about what the government is doing, when private phone companies are and have been tracking your location, texts, credit card information, SSNs and lot of other information for years. On top of that, most of the data is stored on NON-secure databases, and is regurarly sold to marketers all over the world. DEon't worrry about what the government is doing, they are so inefficient and too politicaly hamstrung to get anything done, UNLESS someone with a lot of money wants them to. Just don't make the rich ones mad. they have lots of money to pay expensive lawyers to make life miserable of the rest of us in they want to.
