    why not cameras? If wiretaps are OK, why not cameras?

    Anyway, it's not that I have anything to hide. It's that I don't believe the government is entitled to peer into my private life, period.

            The whole NSA thing was an abuse of power. It gave the government a blanket of authority with no system of checks and balances.
