Honestly, I'd gladly give up certain freedoms in order to ensure my safety. I don't mean I'd give up my right to free speech, or even my right to privacy, but I do think that the government needs broader surveillance capabilities. If this surveillance is done by responsible parties and any embarrassing information that is uncovered remains secret, I see nothing wrong. In other democracies the governments have more powers over their citizens, yet their citizen's enjoy a vast amount of freedoms. As long as I'm giving up my rights in a manner that does not make me feel like I'm being taken advantage of, I really have no problem with it.
