Freedom and security never matched
According to the US Government:
Every time Americans makes a call, the US Government gets a record of the location, the number called, the time of the call and the length of the conversation.
Every time Americans send and email or visit a website the US Government gets a record of it.

Every time Americans create information the US Government "maps" individuals connected with that information.

Economics is not a highly sophisticated field of thought.
You don't need to be an economist to know what was wrong in the past.
