Terrorists
"""If the government REALLY knew who the terrorist were, they wouldn't have to collect EVERYONE's records. We need better intelligence (in more ways than one)... Maybe we should outsource our intelligence to another country."""

You are correct. If the government really knew who the terrorists were, they wouldn't have to collect information, but how are they going to findout without collecting information? Do you think the terrorists are going to start wearing signs proclaiming the fact? You start by finding out who some are and then you expand the search, hoping you can seperate the innocents from the guilty. But if you just sit on your hands and say we know this person is a terrorists and then do nothing, the other person you know nothing about is going to kill you or at least try very hard to do so.
