If "maintain national security" means preventing terroristic attacks, then the appropriate way is first of all to stop invading foreign countries (or supporting their invasion). The fact that "this" Snowden published Britain related documents should concern british citizens very much, because shows how tightly the contry is connected to USA, and how the wrongdoings of the latter will (and did) fall back on the former. Accepting/supporting surveillance strategies today, both internal and foreign, has more to do with totalitarian and imperialistic objectives more than security itself.
