No, not at all. Freedom is its own end, and State sponsored mass surveillance is inimical to freedom. Even IF this stuff kept us safer, which I doubt, it wouldn't be a trade-off that makes sense to me. If you're not free, why live at all? To me, agency, the freedom to make our own choices, to live our own lives, is the most fundamental essence of what it means to be alive.
