Why should I worry?”

The person in danger is the person that stands-out on political issues or anyone who is viewed a adversarial to the government. The plain truth is that ,The War on Terror=The War on Opposition.

The data amassed on just about anyone will be sifted until they find something or anything to put an end to you. This is the real purpose of data collection. As in the past demonstrated by dictatorships, No one is so pure that they can’t hang any of the myriad of broad offenses on you they will be used to discredit you.

The data pool of political dissidents is so huge and growing that they cannot just round everyone up, but it will always be a consideration. If one becomes visible by participation the government has the means to quiet just about anyone… and we gave it to them with the passage of the DNAA..
