What is probably going to happen is that kids in schools today will be taught (slowly as not to draw attention to it) that it is good and proper for the government to watch its citizens, that there is no such thing as a "right to privacy" etc...
This isn't being taught in school yet, but I am starting to hear it from people I talk to. I have heard several people say "Privacy isn't protected by the Constitution.". I point to the 4th and 5th Amendment, but they are ususally unconvinced. My personal opinion is, if privacy isn't protected by the Constitution, it should be, because invasion of privacy by the government, corporations or even other individuals is just plain WRONG.

Note that the article talks about them 'closing the analog hole.'"
Should I be alarmed ?
