It's that simple. The government does nothing wrong with heavy surveillance in public places because there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places.

In fact, there is every argument in favor of heavy surveillance in public places.

Be more concerned about surveillance in those areas where there exists an expectation of privacy because nothing youo or I ever say about it will alter the fact that there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places.
