This is what all the civil liberties peoples feared: you make a big pot of juicy data and unilateral executive powers, and it invites expanding their uses and mis-uses. The misuser may be GWB, Obama, Trump, HRC, or the next guy, but because they exist they will eventually be mis-used.
It may be rank hypocrisy for everyone to freak out about it now, but I welcome people getting freaked out about it.
That said many fewer people seem to trust Trump and he is an unknown quantity, so it's easy to see why the freak-out exists even if in principle it was late in coming.
"Trump said Tuesday that he would be "fine" with restoring provisions of the Patriot Act to allow for the bulk data collection" [1]
"I think we ought to start [surveillance] up again, and we ought to start it up this morning. We ought to start it up again and get going. And use your head. This is a lot of nonsense that we ended that," [2]

But… It's the next president that we should worry about, pertaining these same drones.
The kind of opposite-speak that the MSM uses has reached ludicrous levels.
This is much like reading, "Ted Bundy fears that the ideas he created will be used as inspiration by future mass murderers as they kill even more people.", except that analogy doesn't hold up, because Ted Bundy hasn't murdered anywhere near the amount of people that the Obama administration has.
