"The premise is that there needs to be a nexus to foreign terrorism," says David Burtt, CIFA's director. "In the wake of 9/11, there was a lot of criticism about the ability to collect dots and connect dots."

I understand this, but should we give up all personal freedom in fear of an enemy? We can't live in constant surveylance of constant fear of someone. We need to actually live our lives, without such impediments upon our free will. I understand if the government wants to stop terrorism, but there are many ways of doing it without having to spy on innocent americans who have done nothing wrong. Yes, there may be terrorists out there, but do we have to moniter everyone of suspicion of terrorism? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let us live our damn lives or i'm getting out of here! QUICKLY!
