This is the real issue. They want more power while claiming it's in the good hands, so you shouldn't worry. Your private data is safe. Your rights are respected. Your have nothing to worry if you are not a bad guy.

Government constantly shows that it shouldn't be trusted with anything sensitive. It makes stupid mistakes, but never admits that. How many cases happen that nobody ever realizes, because they are swept under the rug?

In the end we all should believe that they are "good" and competent. In spite of them proving us wrong all the time...
