That's very key. Kind of ironically, in my case, the reason I'm not nearly as worried about NSA overreach is because we have people like Sen. Wyden and the EFF and ACLU to strenuously push back against government overstepping their boundaries. Even where I disagree on a given particular issue I know that they are doing good work, and that enables me to trust the government more.
