Government infiltration into all areas of human life in the name of security is nothing but reenactment of Enemy of the State (1998) and Eagle Eye (2008). Actually how safe are we? Radia tapes being leaked, wire tapping of phone calls, and mapping Internet usage patterns are things that we do not want. For the people, by the People and of the People is being stretched too far in today's democratic setup. Did we actually sign up for all this. Or is it just an Oligarchy reasserting control over our lives behind the facade of an elected government.
If such is the fate of open source software, I am sure that closed code software might have sold out to government pressure long long time ago.
