Given the technical nature of this forum, its absolutely mind boggling that people still don't understand what the surveillance programs were about.

If you want to use an analogy, its more along the lines of people living in houses and driving cars made out of pure glass that are completely see through, with faces blurred, and NSA just having a cameras around. If you are going to tell me that this is an abuse of power, its like an argument comparing US to absolute utopia.




Meanwhile, your argument has exactly the kind of legal ineptitude I'd expect on a technical forum. "The public square is everywhere so you never have any reasonable expectation of privacy" is an argument so bad that even the rubberstamp FISC courts didn't accept it, lol.
