47. If they want to search my data, they need to serve ME with a warrant.

Otherwise they don't need to store that data up so that someone in the future can use it for some horrible purpose or so that they can categorize and sort my information.

I favor protecting the privacy of Americans. It is our constitutional right to privacy. Maybe the Obama administration is not abusing their access to all that information, but who can protect us from some future group or individual who obtains access to it?

It is stupid and in my view unconstitutional to collect all that information.

And it is absurd to think, after the several whistleblowers who have come forward and advised us otherwise, that the government is not accessing and sorting and compiling databases of our information and pulling files on certain among us. It is absolutely naive to trust any government to that extent. It's a personal choice, but I do not want the government doing that.

I would prefer that the money be spent on encrypting our data so that NO GOVERNMENT can get that kind of access to it.

There is no good reason to collect that much information.
