I don't think "at risk" is right, legal privacy protections have been a joke since 9/11, and nobody in power (We e;ected Obama to fix that and he expanded it instead) is ever going to let the control they stole in that climate of fear go.

So much bullshit has been enacted in the name of national security or safety.

I remember fall of 2001 at the Mizzou/Texas game, sitting out the anthem in protest and being threatened by people around me. Every damn one of them was a-okay with this for two decades.
