And then in 5 years, when the program rises from the dead only with a different name and a more closely-screened cadre of analysts, what then? I hate to say it

I hate to say it but what you're saying is like telling a 17-year-old that the only way to protect themself from STD/pregnancy is to never have sex. I mean, you're right, but you're also failing to cope with the reality of the situation. ;)

The same applies for a broad application of any technical solution. At the end we probably need both, the public constantly controlling politics and technical solutions to make surveillance generally harder, but it all requires the public interest reaching at least the critical mass. If 99% of people didn't want surveillance, then governments would have virtually no chance to install it, but at the moment many people think surveillance is good for them.
