Exactly. I have written my senator and congressmen about this and similar issues, and I always get very canned answers. Something like "we need to support our military / law enforcement's ability to keep us safe" blah blah blah.

I can't help but think if people really understood what data is collected and how that data can be used, this would be a totally different story. But as usual, this will fly just under the radar, get reauthorized, and completely forgotten about by 99% of the population.
