"Let me say that what the US government is doing wouldn't even be controversial in 99% of the world, including probably 90% of democracies" Really? I'd say perhaps you need to back your estimates with some sort of hard data but these numbers are really plucked out of thin air... Your whole post reeks of whataboutism and classic fallacies. To address: 1) US agencies can track 'dormant terror cells' from adversaries without hovering up everyone's data. 2) And let's not forget about Chinese drones. If your assumption that they were indeed launched from onshore agents, US agencies can triangulate data and get a few POIs under surveillance - not every single person, everywhere, all the time. 3) The drug carters points is laughable.
