Tell those people they are contributing to the downfall of modern, civilized society, by participating in a secret state within the state, over which no average citizen has any control. They are creating a neo-feudalistic society which, in just a few generations, may well be the motivation for severe violent uprising and revolt from within. No society that ever perpetuated a "surveillance class" ever survived long. Instead of more repressive technology, give them a dose of history.
