People oppose measures like this, yet continue to return representatives to legislatures all over the world who use "security" as justification for the removal of civil liberties and individual privacy. People shouldn't be surprised when this happens, it's who they voted for.

It is pretty ironic that people are concerned about the government peeking, when they give plentiful information to Facebook and other social networking sites. The government would have significantly less information to use if they didn't, and also, would you prefer the government to utilize that information or private companies? I know America is supposed to be afraid of large government, but this is pretty ridiculous. And again, I have to say, if this is such a big problem I'd recommend voting for whatever party best represents libertarianism next election. You get what you vote for (or don't vote for, in the case of about 1/2 of Americans).
