First its having no problem with authorities to put video cameras on every street, to put GPS trackers on cars and phones. Then having the power to read all your emails with no real oversight. It happened in East Germany, like a frog in heating water, soon they will also have "national security" or "fight on Terrorism" reasons to make that knock on your door.
Personally I shudder at the thought of some future Republican administration having the power the NSA has at their fingertips now, let alone in the future when technology gets even better, and faster. What if you said something at a town meeting that your local Republican leader did not like and had that kind of power to scan every document you ever sent out and listen to phone calls...looking for the slightest shred of a reason to go after you or anyone of your family.
But hey...the water feels fine...relax.
