Have we heard any government officials calling for any drastic attack on your civil liberties yet?

If you think people can't make the difference between the SEA and people who browse reddit and privacy activists, then you're setting the bar pretty low for the intelligence of the population. Especially considering people are getting more and more informed

Your need for a conspiracy seems pretty great

I disagree with the conspiracy idea, but from what I've seen the bar should be pretty low for the intelligence of the population (at least in this area). Most of the people I know ignore pretty much everything that has been going on with snowden and as for the SEA, they would probably thing it was part of the Syrian government.
