This "apathy" will bring consequences far worst than the spying itself; before long corporations will be able to trade and black mail using the information collected by NSA. Call me tinfoil hat or whatever, but corporations always grab as much power as they are allowed (heck! many have been affiliated with paramilitary groups), so it will be just a natural step when american corporations start blackmailing and racketing international politicians in order to force the approval of laws on their behalf. Plus all the other benefits that a mass surveillance can bring: Learning secrets from the international competition, learning about deals before they happen (some kind of insider trading far worse than anything we have seen so far)
