Ah yes, the classic “I have nothing to hide” mindset.

Sure, you’re not interesting to them.

Until they decide a “terrorist” includes indicators YOU exhibit: conservative, frequent right-wing websites (FR), whatever descriptors tend to pigeonhole you for what you consider yourself as. Then, suddenly, they’ve got this 10+ year dossier on you exhibiting assorted anti-government anti-whatever pro-extremist characteristics, at which point they...well...take a look at history and see what happens to “normal” people who suddenly are disfavored by those in power.

Remember when being Christian/pro-life/straight-marriage/self-sufficient/patriotic/etc was the epitome of upstanding citizenship? now seems it’s code words for “them” heading toward grounds for incarceration & re-education.

Sure, lots of your information is well-known and well-recorded. Our government should, pursuant to facilitating the 4th Amendment, be encouraging those businesses to keep that information well-encrypted and unavailable to unwarranted search.

Sorry, I’m just not that paranoid. I have yet for one person to cite a case of anyone they know who has been targeted by information gathered by intelligence agencies.

Corrupt politicians are another matter: The recent IRS politically motivated targeting of the Tea Party. Remember File Gate when HIllary ordered the stacks and stacks of FBI files to be brought to the White House?

As for evidence of my being Christian, prolife, straight, self-suffcient, patriotic etc., I intend to make sure there is enough evidence to make That case and I have no intention of living my life in fear while I do it.
