I don't think people would really have that much of an issue with spying programs if they were more transparent. By that I mean they can't spy on ANYONE, they actually have to have justifiable evidence to suggest a person or group of people is conducting some form of illegal activities or are involved in potential terrorist activities/groups. Which they must then get a court order granting them the ability to spy on these people for a period of time. During that period of time they don't have to give out the name but once the warrant expires if nothing shows up then the warrant becomes public domain, or if it expires and they prove its helping build a case then names can continue to be suppressed until the time of trial. No secrecy within the country but enough secrecy that the person being spied on doesn't know until its too late. ^^ Hope that makes sense... My opinion.
