Yep. Fashion your message for dupes and appeal to their narcissism.

I agree that people tend to put themselves at the center of the universe on just about every issue. Follow up observation is that PRISM collects as much or more info on Americans as it does foreign countries, which is an example if of a US Agency targeting random people with tech tools.

I think its safe to say that the Agency using this tech against normal folks sitting in a bad guy's two hop isn't exactly far fetched. If you did such an analysis on me, you could find all kinds of reasons to be interested. I am basically a boy scout, but we both know that the raw data from just one type of intel doesn't always tell the whole story. That's what concerns me here. it's too easy to paint a dark picture and hype someone for targeting and far too easy to target them with invasive tools.
