So, what's the difference between the Stasi in East Germany saying it was for 'National Security' and a democratic White House under Hillary Clinton saying it's for 'National Security'?

The difference is between using and abusing power.

George W. Bush is exercising his legitimate constitutional powers to surveil suspected foreign agents for national security purposes, without benefit of a warrant.

Hpwever, Hillary Clinton would be abusing her constitutional authority if she was surveiling you without a warrant because you were suspected of growing marijuana.

Recall that the Clintons were able to conduct all sorts of nefarious beyond-the-law actions during their reign simply because they ignored existing laws, not because they were enabled by them.

Out best defense against a Hillary Clinton is the ballot box, not legislation that restricts the executive.

The government has already officially tied drugs to international terrorism, so that isn't a stretch at all. Hillary just needs to slap a "terrorism" label on any situation where she wants to circumvent the Constitution.
