>dangerous
In the extreme, yeah, it's dangerous. We're so far from that point in the Western world that I don't fear it right now.
>natural state of affairs
Yes, it is the natural state of affairs that the government have the power to snoop on us with a warrant. Otherwise, law enforcement has their hands tied behind their back. 1st grade civics tbh
