Its a FAR cry between listening in on the phone call of a suspected sleeper agent and brutally slaughtering millions of innocent people.
Just because you don't understand or comprehend rights and how they can be taken away with this system does not make it "innocent" or "insignificant".

The problem here is the potential for someone in power, to abuse one's authority whereas in the case of the Nazis, that was the M.O. of the entire fascist govt.
Thus, expanded NSA powers, without some Congressional oversight, will lead to a type of oligarch security state whereas those with the means, generally the rich and well-connected, will abuse others, like up and coming political or business rivals, but be able to cloak everything under a national security visage.
