I gotta say, I find this very alarming, too. As you point out about 2001, once you let them do something, it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle.

Your "they're probably already breaking the law, so we should just indemnify them, legitimize it and beg for more" sounds a lot like telecom immunity for warrantless wiretapping back in 2008.
