Re: Edward Snowden
I don't think that's a good comparison but I get what you're saying I think.
Gun rights are written in the Constitution. Privacy is not. So the approach to the two concepts is 100% different.
The gun debate is all about where the restriction begins, if any. The concept of privacy is written in via case law and isn't mentioned once in the Constitution but for the 4th Amendment.

Re: Edward Snowden
It's all good. I was stating that just because you and I wouldn't care if our info was scanned doesn't/shouldn't mean Greg should be forced to be okay with it because we out number him 2 to 1.
As far as a system like that, tough to say if that would work or if everyone would just hold up there hand and say no thanks.

Re: Edward Snowden
Slightly, yes.
I've not seen one iota of evidence that suggests common individuals were targeted. The Gubmint, with all it's misgivings, doesn't give two shits about either of us. And there's just as much evidence (like none at all) that the IRS is doing the NSA's bidding.
I understand the concern and agree with the principles behind it. But now you're talking Alex Jones type stuff. Scandals get discovered. They always do. If individuals were all of a sudden targeted for audit simply based on political affiliation, we'd hear about just like in this case.
