Nailed it. Here's hoping there's a silver lining to the damage that the us tech industry will take over this - harder resistance when gov comes calling with inappropriate requests. Increasing public Opposition and lobbying from tech giants. More companies willing to speak out despite the legal risk.

Broad-sweeping and baseless surveillance is going to be called "nothing new" and "widely utilized for the benefit of law enforcement." This is another effect of globalization -- if one government gets an advantage over another due to lax privacy laws then the rest have to follow suit. The NSA's bottom line is this: If China has a Great Firewall and we can't have one, then we must have the capability to decrypt everything.
