4. None whatsoever.
Having grown up in a generation where cameras weren't ubiquitous, where warrants had to be issued, where the Constitution was the law of the land instead of toilet paper, I find the notion of any sort of domestic spying abhorrent. Sadly, more and more people are growing up with their civil liberties increasingly restricted and infringed on, and really don't seem to care. The prevailing attitude is that if you're not doing something wrong, why worry. And as we get more and more of an acquiescent population, the more and more the government is going to take outrageous steps, push the limits, until we're all being watched, 24/7, and all those dystopia visions have come true. We're almost there now, sad to say.

Sorry, but I'm not willing to compromise anything away when it comes to the Constitution and my rights.
