Susan, the Americans seem to be not interested in privacy at all. What you and people like you may need to do, is start an educational campaign. Talk to students and pupils, explain them (they will understand it easier) why privacy is important. Tell them that to give their phone in the GAP shop is not only stupid, but also dangerous. Parallel, can't you talk to law-makers? Accept if not all, at least some of the European Directives. Wiretapping of the kind happening in the US, should have driven resignations in Europe. In the US even the public opinion doesn't care...
