WTH does the OKC bombing have to do with this? Are you implying that the government should be constantly monitoring all citizens without any level of prior suspicion a la the KGB? Because that's the only way they would have stopped McVeigh. He wasn't even on the radar.

Not your best post.

Are you implying that they aren't already? Because that's laughable.

A. As is pointed out, the NSA is already applying algorithms to all communications.
B. Read the Preamble to the US Constitution: The goal of establishing our government Is to "insure domestic tranquility" "promote the general welfare" and "provide for the common defense". That means having the capacity to effect surveillance. And sometimes this means erring on the side of infringement on personal liberty or freedoms. We have enough lawyers in our society to eventually remediate any errors.
C. I'll take the present excesses of our government versus not having them watching over the situation. I get that we could become more like a police state. If forced to take an extreme from the two choices, I'd rather that than anarchy.
