I understand your apathy and your acceptance of the fact that some third-party more than likely has access to your internet footprint. But as kb said elsewhere in this thread, the NSA demonstrably overstepped its charter, is breaking the law, and it should be stopped, as a matter of judicial principle. Just like we arrest and punish street criminals, we ought to put a stop to injustices carried out by the government (and white collar criminals while we're dreaming, not a single arrest and conviction in relation to the ballooned mortgage market!?). Sure this is a convenient excuse for some to get outraged on the internet, but that's not an excuse to drop this cause.
