Does this mean you can't or won't explain it? In this context, "it" is
a SECRET program to spy on possible terrorists in order to TRACK them.
If you TELL them about it they will change their modus operandi and
you will no longer be able to track them...follow?

As for privacy concerns, that's a legitimate argument - now that the
program isn't secret. Why weren't you concerned about them doing
essentially the exact same thing previous to 9/11 to fight the drug
war? Consistency too much to ask for here? Is it simply the person in
office that raises your ire?

And why not answer the other two questions - did you feel attempting
to make me look stupid would suffice?
