I suspect that most people are not worried about government intrusion on privacy, exactly because they feel they don't have anything to hide and haven't (they believe) done anything wrong. They want to feel safe and believe government surveillance will help, and that people going out of their way to use encryption or privacy tools are up to shady business.
I'm not sure how to change this mindset. I just do not see how to get the vast majority of people to value privacy, especially at the cost of (perceived) safety.
Edit: And, ironically, those same people WILL be very concerned about privacy from (dastardly!) corporations, while I am not so much.
