To be fair, a lot of people did. It makes sense to you and me that warrantless wiretapping is a fundamental attack on privacy, and that privacy is a necessary right for liberty, but there are those that value safety so highly they'll even take the illusion. We can certainly fault their logic, but you can't hold someone's fear against them in the climate we've been in for the past 60 years. Cold war, terrorism; a boogeyman around every corner.
