I've made the same argument before: Fear the power closest to you. I have little to fear from the US or China spying on me because they have (realistically, discounting e.g. Seal Team Six) much less control over me than the Irish government. But that only holds true because I'm not travelling to the US and I'm not doing anything they'd care^ about. If I was doing something that the US government cared about, then it doesn't really matter where I am. ^ i.e., illegal, dangerous, hostile etc. FYI: I'm a boring regular guy
