And just what freedom did you lose over the last 4 years? I'm sick and tired of people bitching about theoretical lost freedoms, as they clutch their mini version of the US Constitution. If you are not a criminal/terrorist, you haven't lost squat.
Except a little fourth-amendment protection. Your objection, that many people are not directly inconvenienced by these laws, is not valid: it's equally true that the majority of Germans in the 1940s never once faced an interrogation by the Getapo. Only criminals and traitors (and Jews) had to worry about that.
