What most people are missing here is that the average American a) doesn't care b) doesn't actually know what their rights are c) is happy to allow this in the name of "anti-terrorism." Seriously, step away from the internet/reddit/HN/blogs and go out on the street and talk to an average Joe/Jane about where this ranks on their priorities. People who think there will be a "revolution" over something like this are seriously misguided. Revolutions happen when people are hungry. The average American is not starving and will never be rioting in the streets over phone records.
