Mr 4003 & others...
You ask, "What's the "endgame", "this doesn't affect me", "I have noting to hide", etc, etc, etc...
It's not about "hiding", it's about PRIVACY, UNWARRANTED SEARCHES, YOUR LIBERTIES.
I know reviewing case law and filings is a bit boring, BUT, every American needs to read this currently being heard in our courts:

There are MANY organizations fighting tooth and nail for your rights... NONE of them are politicians!
Please review the PDF... pay attention to the dates...
So... you looked... blah blah blah... Google didn't secure gmail and turns over search parameters to the NSA... THIS should concern you. The fact that companies hold your info (Stratfor, BofA, Citi..etc... and DOES NOT SECURE your info should concern you. The fact that your government spends BILLIONS of of tax dollars and does not even place the first stage of security on data files should concern you... Anonymous dives in, releases 100's of gigabytes of info on you and your finances, and you get mad at them???? You should thank them, because the media and governments are not serving the people, they are serving themselves.
