Karl being gullible to govt. lies & propaganda aint good
It's been well established that the mass spying on EVERYBODY indiscriminately....along with being UNCONSTITUTIONAL... has done virtually NOTHING to foil so called terrorist plots. Real plots have been disrupted by old fashioned investigative techniques which don't include indiscriminate 24/7 surveillance of the 99.999% of innocents to find the .001% of "possible terrorists". Also people who see & report untoward behavior foil some plots....like that Times Sq case several years ago
In fact the majority of the so called terror plots reported in the US have been sting operations 100% MANUFACTURED by the FBI... where the endgame is highly publicized "arrests of terrorists". That way they get people (like you I guess
) continually bummy about terrorism....and get to justify themselves and garner bigger budgets 
The mass surveillance is most likely NOT about terror.... but putting the psychological & infrastructural elements of a Police State in place ...while the Frogs Boil

The head of the National Security Agency (NSA) admitted before a congressional committee this week that he lied back in June when he claimed the agency’s phone surveillance program had thwarted 54 terrorist “plots or events.”
NSA Director Keith Alexander gave out the erroneous number while the Obama administration was defending its domestic spying operations exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. He said surveillance data collected that led to 53 of those 54 plots had provided the initial tips to “unravel the threat stream.”
But Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Wednesday during a hearing on the continued oversight of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that the administration was pushing incomplete or inaccurate statements about the bulk collection of phone records from communications providers.
“For example, we’ve heard over and over again that 54 terrorist plots have been thwarted by the use of (this program),” Leahy said. “That’s plainly wrong,” adding: “These weren’t all plots and they weren’t all thwarted.”
