With this egregious violation of privacy/civil law not even getting a majority?
Privacy as an issue is dead.

Kind of answers my question I guess.
I also wonder how much non-governmental invasions of privacy also have affected people's perceptions. Hell, google probably knows more about me than Uncle Sam. Harris Teeter knows precisely what I eat (thanks to the VIC Card), etc.. And, on some level, I have freely given up that privacy in order to search faster and get 10c off mac n' cheese. And millions of people have made that choice.
So, should it suprise us when no one objects to the government doing it for an ostensibly good reason?
