I agree. I wouldn't have one in my home, but for most of the non-tech savvy population, all you need to do is stick something on the box that says "100% secure"

I agree. I wouldn't have one in my home, but for most of the non-tech savvy population, all you need to do is stick something on the box that says "100% secure" or something similar and their nerves are calmed. This is obviously not apparent in the HN/tech worlds, but the unfortunate perception I get is that no one really cares about their online privacy (unless it comes to their finances). When I talk to my non-techy friends, most say the cliches like, "I'm not doing anything wrong, so have nothing to hide". Therefore the reason governments can get away with forcing tech companies to give up data, is because the people don't really care, or believe the bullshit in the media about stopping terrorists, and tolerate it.
