Then by 2022 they are making RFID chip implants mandatory, and so on and so forth. All of this stuff is a VERY slippery slope.

That was my exact point with original post. Where does it end?

I do in fact have a huge problem with what they are doing now. One can always make the argument - well, by logging calls the NSA was able to thwart a terror plot that might have prevented this or stopped a cell from maybe doing that. . At what cost to our personal liberties though?

I personally do not trust our Gov no matter who is in office. By letting the Government get away with this, you know god damn well they are going to keep pushing the envelope to see how far they can take it.
