@dabeen you’re sacrificing more than a little privacy. You’re basically handing your entire life over to anybody enough security clearance to access the program. They’re pretty much rewriting the Constitution. Did our privacy sacrifice prevent the Boston Marathon bombing? Did the NSA stop 9/11, despite the many red flags? Don’t be so sure that you’re getting the protection that you think you are. The government has so many policies that are completely out of line with protecting the public, for example, not listening in on mosques. Actively advocating to make our borders less secure, they are even considering bringing thousands of Syrian refugees in. Why are you assuming that data mining all of our personal information will only be used for security? Quite a risk to hand your privacy over so casually.
