(Partly political reply, but it *does* impact this list when it's influencing
things like "Does CALEA apply to a higher ed institution?")

Is it time to introduce a constitutional amendment or law protecting
US residents from this collection of data?  Would it be possible to
introduce such a legal protection while huge corporate and
governmental interests are enjoying the freedoms allowed without this
protection?  Is there enough significant interest in privacy by
influential people to make a stand?

You'll need to deal with the post-9/11 mindset that's feeding the issue
that you're trying to legislate against.  Look at the recent Patriot Act
renewal for an example of your chances.
