You know, I hate the patriot act with every fiber of my being, but that argument doesn't quite hold water.
The NSA doesn't care about your money. They don't need to blackmail you. If they want you, they can come and get you. They don't affect the vast majority of Americans. I don't care for them spying on me, but in reality the vast majority of us (myself included) will never see anything become of it.
Thieves and fraudsters, on the other hand, have a definite desire to have your money. They will get it by any means necessary. You need protection against them.
You'll never have a foolproof defense against the NSA. You can make their job harder, but that's about it. They have the resources to get to you if they want to. Ukrainian script kiddies don't. So make technical countermeasures against the thieves, and political ones against the NSA.
