The fact that we have no privacy what so ever with anything is a scary feeling. Most people, including myself, trust the internet and what information we give out over the internet. It is a shame that the government feels justified to collect our information. It would be one thing to monitor network traffic to find a felon and arrest them, but that is not the case and is not happening. This is an awful thing and it is good that the public is aware about this issue, however I only use my email through the school, so I feel some what protected. But this makes me feel extremely unconfortable and unsafe to open a new account with any other email program for this very reason. I would not know how to go about suggesting a type of safeguard to put in to protect people's privacy. Maybe for users to just give a name or give very little information about themselves when signing up for an email account.
