I've got no mod points, but I think you're exactly right. We risk our lives for things we want to do every day. We should be willing to take on a bit of risk to keep our privacy as well. I mean, you could prevent or solve many crimes if you institute a national DNA sample registry, but (so far) that hasn't happened. The intelligence community will always want more data, it's what they do. They cannot be trusted to oversee themselves. It is ridiculous that they've set themselves as exempt from whistleblower protections - Snowden should be protected.
