I've been interested in this topic for a while, and I've found most people's responses to the question falls into 3 broad categories:

1) This is just tin-foil-hat paranoia. You're crazy. (This is by far the most popular choice.)

2) I'm unimportant. "They" wouldn't care about anything I do, so what does it matter?

3) Universal surveillance is a fact of life now. Deal with it, or move somewhere remote like Kamchatka and raise your children to believe civilization was destroyed by zombies.
