> The system knows everything about [the terrorist]: where he went, who his friends are, who his family is, what keeps him busy, what he said and what he published. Using artificial intelligence, the system analyzes behavior, predicts risks, raises alerts.

Where does "the terrorist" end and me, you and anyone else just minding our own business get inserted instead? And let's say it's not even the gov doing this but some private company with public data, what's to stop the gov from buying "reports" from that company. 100% legal. That is, no rights being violated, etc.

Anyone who says, "I have nothing to hide" is a fool, at best.
