I care about "random idiot at NSA sitting in front of a computer being able to make my life miserable".
I don't care about "NSA has decided to invest $10 million to make me personally miserable." At that point, they will simply fabricate the evidence they need.
If someone at the NSA wants to come after me, I simply want someone to actually have to sign a piece of paper--cut a check, file a warrant, send a human being, etc.--rather than just write a script in Python.
If someone in a bureaucracy has to sign their name and take responsibility, I'm fairly safe. Simply the possibility that something might cause political fallout will stop 99.9% of all such actions.
