Actually make everything collected actually fully public, with no exclusions on who is collected from. If it's collected, it's public. After all, the collection was paid for with public monkey. No need to put in FOI Requests for this data, since it would be public. Crowd source the the mining of the data. A completely transparent society.
Nobody in power would actually be for this (but they expect everyone to be), since it would reveal way more than their claims of what they are searching for/using it for. If we, the public, are expected to trust these agencies and those in power with our data, then we should be able to trust each other. Unfortunately, we'd still here rhetoric about how some people, often those in power, are more trustworthy than others.
Really, the same response works for "I have nothing to hide". If the goals of the surveillance are so morally and ethically pure, and the public can be trusted not to abuse the data, then there revealing all the data to the public would confirm the pure motives and actions.
