Or "it has always been done, so it is okay".
And we will be admonished that all NSA-type spying started long ago, so we shouldn't complain now.
Wonder how all of this activity, worldwide, will change now that it has been dragged out from behind the curtain.
My guess is that at some point - behind closed doors, of course - all spying nations will just shake hands, have a toast, and continue on their merry way, because they all spy on their citizens and will not be stopping that.

More and more "efforts" are taking place away from public eyes - TPP, NSA, wonder what else.
