I agree with the dangers of an executive branch that has access to nearly unlimited information on everyone, especially when you consider the surveillance of Congress, governors, or Supreme Court justices.<p>The math doesn&#x27;t sit quite as well with me. As someone recently mentioned, the projected threat of terrorism cannot be effectively measured by deaths to-date because those numbers can suddenly grow exponentially in the event of an attack. The probability of extra surveillance is baseless, etc. The points are valid, the statistical argument is weak and unnecessary.
