I almost wish it was that simple.

My mother made the classic argument we all gag to, "nothing hide, why should I worry?".

One of my elder co-workers, a computer scientist, isn't opposed to it because he legitimately believes it is a good thing... that terrorists are being actively apprehended, I guess. I couldn't really probe him on it because I had unfortunately mentioned my stance already.

I suppose both himself and my mother live in a state of constant fear.

Not to sound narcissistic, but... I pity them.
