&gt; Face it, most of the American public, except maybe the Millenials and Gen-Z, love the idea of having the government spy on them all the time &quot;for their safety&quot;.<p>John Oliver did a show on this.  It isn&#x27;t that they are in favor of it, it is that they don&#x27;t understand the implications.  They think the spying is limited to just terrorist, not realizing that everything they do is being spied on.
