Oh my gosh. Such a tough choice. On one hand, I think that, even though they can see all of our personal coversations/posts/information, I would much rather have the government arrest a suspected terrorist before another major strike is made against us, rather than after something devastating happens that kills lots of innocent civilians. I mean, I'm OK with the government looking at my personal information and stuff, I just don't want to know that they are.

On the other hand, I'd rather have my conversations/posts/information kept to those who saw it. I mean, even though they're looking for potential terrorists, I my stuff kept private to both me and the people with whom I share it with. Yet, the biggest flaw about this is that the NSA let this secret get out, because now the terrorists and other criminals now know to avoid discussing their plans over the internet, which is under the watchful eyes of the FISA. They might also avoid calling each other. On the upside, it makes planning out organized crime 50% harder because now they have to meet in person, or write letters to each other, which costs a lot these days.

So, which side shall I choose?
