Unfortunately there are some who see no problem with this aspect of the
leaks.  In the USA we still have a lot of law-and-order/tough-on-crime
types who view civil rights as an obstacle to public safety rather than
as a protection.  There is still a lot of pressure on the police to do
more to keep everyone safe from criminals and terrorists.

It does not help that people feel less safe now than they did when crime
rates were much higher:
