You do know posting on a security forum about privacy and the NSA will probably get noticed and yes they do care and yes it is their business what people think/talk about. They are called intelligence agencies for a reason
You do realize that staying "off grid" and off the internet would land you on a watch list. They are always looking for the next uni-bomber type. Plenty of anti-government people out there to watch.
Staying off grid and off the internet does not mean that you are anti-government, maybe it just means you don't care about that crap.The problem is not democratic western liberal governments who have regulations, laws and rules. You know lawyers and policy makers go over every offensive cyber operation and surveillance program before giving the go ahead and then you have judges who rule on lawfulness of programs/operations and issue warrants.
The problem is the other side, anti democratic authoritarian regimes that use technology to oppress and suppress people without any oversight. When no one is watching bad things happen!

...or you are an unintentional Ludite like my brother who does not own a computer, does not own a smart phone...
In a perfect world it may work that way. It's more like you have a government that pass regulations that then gets revoked years later (by maybe the highest court of your country or EU) only to try the law that got revoked again (only with a slight twist). E.g the German data preservation act "Vorratsdatenspeicherung"
Haha.. lucky bugger's never been 'on the grid' anyway then...
But the checks and regulations are there even though they may not be used in the proper way or implemented correctly. I agree with you on the judges part though, most if not all have very little knowledge or comprehension of anything cyber related besides checking their email and using MS Office. But as millennials become the dominant group in the world that will improve I would argue and they will bring their knowledge about anything related cyber to their role as a judge. Things keep moving forward, and progress is guaranteed.
