I'm a bit surprised that there are so few people who legitimately don't care at all. I actually don't care. I think it gives people a creepy, Orwellian-type feeling (because there were similar ideas in 1984) but the most significant part of 1984 was the totalitarian government itself. If covert methods are used to enforce the (possibly absurd) laws of a totalitarian regime, that's one thing; for the NSA to use covert methods to enforce our democratically produced laws and our collective desire for national security, that's something quite different. In the end, nothing they enforce relates to anything I do in my day to day life.
