No, we are not "living in a police state". The words "police state" have an actual and quite grim meaning and it is an insult to people who have experienced that meaning on their own flesh to say that of the US right now.
There are some very bad things in current US society -- most of them not really related to this NSA stuff but things like False Rape Accusations and other consequences of feminism, like that Duke rape case and worse -- but they do not remotely rise to the level of this being a police state.
For anyone who would like to learn a bit about what those words really mean, Armando Valladares' noble memoir Against All Hope is as good a place to start as any.
