Well, I mentioned it. It has certainly had a chilling effect on the people who know about it. I happen to hear conversations between very liberal engineers who discuss what keywords the government is probably looking for, and what might trigger the program. Since I know people are discussing it, and modifying their behavior (innocent people) I know there has been a reduction in freedom of behavior because of a program on the part of the government that lumps in all innocent people with a few guilty ones. That is a problem, imo. What have you to say about such a reduction in freedom and privacy for innocent people?
