glib,
Yes, with enough uncaring people this would/will blow over ;)
If I didn't know you any better I'd probably think you are projecting your own skepticism and (ahem) lethargy to the rest of the population. But I digress...
...however, I disagree that the "un-informed world" aren't interested enough to care. Secrecy was there and you can't blame everyone for not being their own interwebz detectives, but now the cat's out of the bag and people are not just curious/interested but are also taking action.
Can't speak for everyone, of course, but an example:
The country I am from recently learned how were pressured into handing over private citizens, and already protests are forming with demands of measures to prevent future violations of rights.
The effect those protest will have, I agree, may just well turn out to be ... inconsequential. Again, with enough skeptics, and more focus on the dude and not the message it may just blow over.
Then,
isn't it then up to you, the informed, and me, to engage a bit more instead of just saying something like "Yup, knew it. FIRST! Ah well..."?
