Those powers are for the war on Islamic terror and not suspected crime by US citizens in general nor to harass and bother the president’s political and social enemies.
I’d gladly go for it under those conditions, assuming brutal penalties for misuse (like torture, followed by death, followed by your house gets made into a public toilet and stocked with an initial batch of alcoholic bums), or better yet, some physical means that PREVENTS misuse, or best of all, both.
