Information is power, and if the government decides to utilize these information for the greater good? Why not?
While I agree with the sentiment about "greater good", many questions remain about who defines greater good plus the limits of government(s) spying on their citizens.
If it's for the greater good, would you mind having government cameras in your home, both bedroom and bath? Not just yours, but in every home in America?
Well, if the government would be as petty and insensible as to install cameras on private corners of anyone's home, and stream those videos online for entertainment purposes, it would certainly annoy me. However, granting that they already have access to a wide array of information and can purposely track suspicious men threatening national security, why would I have issues with privacy? If it keeps them from protecting their citizens, so be it.
Yes, I agree. It would appear there are those here and everywhere that have no trouble exchanging their liberty for security, which makes it all the more difficult for those of us who don't. Not to mention the fact that there are so very many other things much more likely to cost our lives that nobody is interested in protecting against.
