What really twists the knife for me is the idea that a belief in privacy is unpatriotic.

"Of course, they'll want to subvert private communications. They're patriots."

The world needs a hell of a lot less patriotism right about now.




This kind of "privacy" (lack of the existence of institutionalized absolute compelled disclosure to law enforcement and along with broadly cast suspicion less search) was once called liberty and freedom by American mythological forefathers.
