Essentially, there is no trustworthy political solution, because politics can always change. As long as the people say, “I've got nothing to hide”, surveillance fans and fear mongers will always find the necessary support.

I always ask, "what happens if it's suddenly illegal to be gay, drink, take selfies, or worse?" I don't think I've ever left a conversation where a person said that and they left not at minimum answering that question.
What's scary, is some people seem to want that stuff - as long as it's not them getting taken away and thrown in a cell.
