I would never sacrifice freedom and privacy for the delusion of security... I would never trust human government to run such a system... If people believe that Government is good and can be trusted then they are sadly mistaken..
No, I am not claiming that humans can be trusted 100%. Yet for the sake of sanity and human survival we do have to trust our governments with our welfare. In fact, in democracies we vote in order to have the government look after our welfare via making decisions on our behalf.
Part of those decisions are in relation to law enforcement and control and reduction of criminal activity. So we approve of the government's deployment of a police force. In fact, we approve of the government's establishing a military force for our protection from military aggression as well.
So trusting our governments in such issues isn't anything unusual or inherently repugnant.
In fact, the bible tells us to do so.
Rom 13: 4 for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.
