6 billion people to keep an eye on; most of which are "over there"
Remember how we're supposed to be fighting them on THEIR ground? Well, if they're looking for real terrorists, why the extra measures here?

I will agree there should be an appropriate amount of surveillance in America, but given the number of subjective laws being passed, it's all too easy to make a truly innocent person a "criminal".

Heck, even photographers are targeted: If a photo is deemed "for hostile use", you're in trouble. WTF? Who does the deeming? And who is redeemed after the lengthy costs and time to determine the person's innocence (guilty into proven innocent these days?)

I'm confused.
