The big danger from NSA's scarfing up everybody's data isn't 
today. The evidence is that the people who run NSA today are 
generally in favor of some view of traditional American freedom. 
The danger is that someone like J. Edgar Hoover notices how much 
power is stored in those archives and works himself into a 
position to start the American Stasi or KGB.
