That model came from a time where the state set somewhat more reasonable boundaries for itself and also a time when doing continuous observation of all members of society was not only moral abhorrent but also impractical. If you really feel that the state in it current incarnation should have these sorts of unrestricted powers, I'm not sure how to have a productive conversation. They've shown themselves wholly irresponsible from my vantage.
