Agreed that we’ll most likely never get rid of this. No administration will want to take the risk of backing off on this and having a terrorist attack happen shortly thereafter. 50+ years in the political desert would be the price paid.

And if a sudden outbreak of government honesty did stop such snooping, the population still couldn’t really know that it had stopped. The genie is out and the bottle is broken.
