There is also the reason "because the constitution says so." I don't think our founding fathers suspected that our borders would be infiltrated by terrorists.
Yes, i would draw a line. If Big Brother had a camera in my bedroom and bathroom and was watching me take leaks and other "sensitive stuff", if they I was being told how to raise my own kids(thank God for private and home school), If i was being framed for crimes I did not commit, there's the line. But they can scan my face and my car all they want if it means I can enjoy a beautiful night downtown like my grandpa says he was able to do.
My, uneducamated opinion, but I think its' something that not everyone thinks about.

I look towards Pastor Martin Niemöller words on this,

In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
