there are petitions, new legislation, dialogue, etc surrounding this. a lot of people do care. i don't think it's accurate to wav off *most* americans with a casual comment like this, even the article in the post you are quoting goes on about how this is an unprecedented event.
not to mention i think it is more than fair to ASSume germany snoops on partners as well so they don't want to turn this into an international keystone cops.
