Everything you're saying is true, but I think there's something far less dramatic that somehow rings true for people even more. One revelation of Snowden is that the NSA would regularly 'seize' and pass around attractive nudes and other such media that were intercepted from people. [1] At other times there was something that even got its own little name 'LOVEINT' which would involve NSA workers spying on their love or romantic interests for reasons. [2] When you talk about things like torture nobody really worries about things like that happening to them, because it mostly won't. But I think people tend to forget that these ABC agencies are made up of people. People that, like all people, are very flawed. My family tends to be of the 'I don't care - I have nothing to hide' state of mind. Referencing these events, which are really just basic consequences of human nature, sent them on a 180 fast.
