I am shocked that you would compare a situation that took place almost 100 years ago when not only were there none of the technology available, but the spying was done by neighbor on neighbor. This is not even in the same ball park as the analogy you are passing off here.
Secondly, I think the constitution allows the federal government is in specific charge of national defense and that is what we are talking about.
I recommend to you a read on the Tokyo gas attacks on the subway, and how close....how very close this RELIGIOUS group was to getting hold of nuclear weapons.. I have read a few on that, and it just frightens me what a small world we now live in and how delicate the balance is between freedom and total destruction. The world is not full of peace dwellers....and those who hate and profess it...those who seek to destroy and announce it.....they now have a "shot"

I'm not anti ANY government. We need order and rules. But not what we're getting now. It's literally Orwellian what's going on. Read 1984.
You CAN'T make anything or anyone PERFECTLY safe. You can't make everyone or everywhere perfectly safe. You can't stop EVERY idiot who wants to do harm. And to try is too much of an intrusion on everyone else.
The comparison is valid. The Nazis, the Russians, Chinese...the spying was done on their own people...we're doing the same now...government is spying on its own people. It's a slow insidious process...like the frog in water that slowly gets hotter until it dies...never thinking it needed to jump out. We're being manipulated...by professional manipulators.
