9. I live in America and I expect privacy.

We all expect privacy. We live in a free society where all of our rights are guaranteed .
The problem is that we are not alone. The United States is an open gate for people from every country in the world. Those people bring in their own agendas and in many cases they become pests. And so many are allowed into the country that a substantial number find fertile ground for hidden agendas that often include harming U.S. citizens.

Whe have often witnessed how sleepy neighborhoods are sometimes converted into playgrounds and later into ghettos where crime flourishes and the rule of law is slowly corroded.

Privacy is a gift for the ones who wish it and can afford the neighborhoods where they can live in peace and privacy.

Before Edward Snowden ransacked the security headquarters of the U.S., the NSA, there was a vast structure of neatly organized
centers of monitoring threats. Americans don't know how many attempts against the U.S. were carried out after 9/11. One of those could have been perpetrated in your own neighborhood, just like it happened on 9/11 to thousands of Americans like you.
