content: This is what happens when you let government get too big.  The government authorized the NSA to break the law and will not send federal agents or police to arrest them, nor would they have government employed prosecutors press charges if any arrests were made.  Any attempt at a citizens arrest would not only result in no charges filed (as previously mentioned), but the citizens arresting them would almost certainly be killed.  It's not complacency, it's a matter of we have no recourse but civil war and most are unwilling to take that step.
