That sounds more like a "C" to me than a "B." If you acknowledge that wiretapping has its place, and that intelligence warfare has a place in modern geopolitics, but you're concerned about the lack of judicial process then it isn't so much the capabilities of the NSA as what they're doing with them.

Put it this way: I was you in '97. By '99 a student of the clandestine services could have seen the whole of the Bush administration coming and the Obama response after that.

And that's why I'm a (D).
