Yeah, almost just as stupid as Jesus. He did righteous acts, but in doing so he ruined his life and ended up dead on a cross. What about his income, family and friends? He really messed his life up!

I think that's a flawed argument. That electronic communication can and is being surveilled has been known for a long time. Those who are actually planning serious crimes have always been aware of this and have taken counter measures. They're either using strong encryption, codewords/secret languages etc. Or they are simply avoiding these kinds of technologies altogether - like the KGB, who is said to be writing top secret reports on mechanical typewriters and paper again.
Those who have been aware that they indeed have "something to hide" have always considered this and acted accordingly - and the more dangerous it would be if the information got into the wrongs hands, the more effort they put into preventing this.
It's the ordinary citizen who naively thought that all this "big brother" talk is just conspiracy theories (or at least couldn't possibly affect themselves) who may actually change his behaviour now.
