One of the earlier statements by government spokesmen was that they're only collecting meta-data and no one should be concerned about that. Fine. Then every top-level NSA employee, and anyone else involved in the data collection process, should immediately and publicly publish THEIR meta-data. That means detailed phone bills showing what number they called, when, and for how long. That means to "to" and "from" plus timestamps on all email sent and received. That means the recipient name and address of every piece of Postal mail sent. We don't need to see the content of those communications, just the meta-data. Because that's harmless and not really private, right?
