There may come a time soon where the violence is widespread enough to actually justify this level of invasion of privacy. The threat of these sorts of attacks is increasing and if countries like Pakistan are any clue, it&#x27;s simply not possible to ignore it and say everything will be fine because only a small portion of the population is involved. That small portion can wreak havoc and must be managed and surveillance is the right tool to do just that. It&#x27;s by far better than any other method of dealing with the problem... and it does allow for surgical precision as long as the authorities don&#x27;t use it instead to go after other crime, which they inadvertently do.
