one would be crazy to think less...
They created the 4th Ammendment and have worked around the edges of that right so much that it practically non-existent.
On the other hand, everyone has their hands in the cookie jar.. Private companies, govt, foreign countries etc. There was a reason OWS had no "leaders" and did everything in the "open". Because they knew and know that there would be instigators, police agencies, infiltrators, and monitoring (all of which occurred) and they were shut down in a similar manner across the nation by Homeland Security tactics.
Also, the younger generation, doesn't really hide a damned thing. They post just about anything and everything anyway, have their movements catalogued and advertised to constantly.... I'm not lying when I say I mention something on a phone call, and all of a sudden I have an e-mail in my in box advertising to something very similar. I'd say the way around the mega-corp/ govt has been the use of the systems against them. Before the camera phone or a digital camera that saved every picture to a network in case the police confiscated their camera, all of the police brutality and clamp down on citizens was hear say. We've come a long way since the Rodney King beating grainy video popped up.
Again, I don't think its right, but the system is not going to shut itself down. It mainly operates on computer controlled commands shifting thru multiple sources of data to pin point items of interest of security risks. Can if be used against someone who is specifically targeted for some reason, of course. Should it, no. But I have no delusions that these hearings or what not will do a damned thing about the programs that have been set up and still operating as we speak.
