Or, to put it another way: security through obscurity is ok. as long as no one finds out, or goes looking for, public information, everything's hidden well enough.

That's an interesting point of view - or there is some misunderstanding on my end. Let's say the NSA does not only surveil all kinds of communications as it does right now, but it also publishes this information ("open data" in governmental speak), then there is no oppression according to you?
