I am sympathetic to your position. However this sort of low value statement is I think part of the problem. You ask a question that you imply you know the answer to and then you don't give the answers.
You're right; I didn't offer a solution. The point of my comment was how one-sided and predictable the framing around these measures has become. As you can see by some of the other comments, I seem to not be the only one thinking that.
Let me ask you the apparent counter question: do you not see the value of private communication? If you use Facebook Messenger personally, don't you feel that you have gained something by your messages being encrypted? If not, is your reply simply "I ain't got anything to hide"?
If the US really wanted to stop terrorism it could achieve that just by pulling all its troops out of the middle east. Islamists aren't just coming to the US to blow themselves up for the fun of it, they're attacking the US because it has soldiers and military bases occupying most of the middle east.
