First of all, France is already doing all of the above and several European countries are in the process of following suit well ahead of America.

Secondly, that 44% is being reached by combining the percentages different questions which would indicate curtailment of civil liberties, but does not indicate the question which indicated the largest percentage of responses (in order to reach the 44%). It inflates the severity of the percentage by pointing out some of the more shock-worthy answers and including them in the total (racial profiling, registering location, etc). Also, they tried to be tricky by wording the article ambiguously. When the percentages are listed out by actions, most of those percentages are obviously comprised of the same persons.

All in all, there are at least a half dozen European countries who have already implemented this sort of thing, and probably another 4 or 5 dozen UN member nations who never had this many civil liberties in the first place.
