Majority of Americans Supports Government Programs to Track Terrorists, Even at Risk of Privacy

At Pew Research, "Majority Views NSA Phone Tracking as Acceptable Anti-terror Tactic: Public Says Investigate Terrorism, Even IF It Intrudes on Privacy."

I don't have that big a problem with it. I'm just amazed that Obama expanded the program rather than wind it down, like he promised during the campaign. And there's a political fallout, that's what's going to be better for liberty. That said, I can appreciate the libertarian arguments. It's simply a matter of tradeoffs to me, and I'm willing to lean toward greater security.
