#14 I am sure the NSA is not allowed to use variables such as gender or religion in their model due to political correctness. If they could it would improve the model tremendously. But then again when terrorist events are ignored it becomes increasingly more difficult to predict as well. |

#13 ...so I guess I don't have to worry about my webcam being hacked and pictures taken of me shirtless watching a ballgame with a beer and brat. Just keep that Xbox One behind closed cabinets unless you're playing it. |

#12 Politicians are exempt from NSA screening. Rank Hath Its Privileges. |

#11 I wonder how the President, Congress, and the bureaucracy would stack up against the NSA screening? |

#10 Its a tool, and only as good as those who weild it. As a passive system it didn't stop Boston, though the bad guys once identified were tracked rather quickly. As an active system, targets could be analized rather thoroughly I'd guess. I'm not a lover of somebody in the NSA, so I guess I don't have to worry about my webcam being hacked and pictures taken of me shirtless watching a ballgame with a beer and brat. |

#9 Vet? Check. White? Check. Owns guns? Check. A bible? Check. Supports the constitution? Check. Holds the government accountable for their actions? Check. Guess what? I made the list... |

#8 Interesting article. It suggests that 99.98% of US residents picked out by the NSA are false positives. SwksvolFF, This is why it matters: The chances are 5000:1 that they will pick out an innocent person than will find a terrorist. P.S. Actually the chances are considerably higher. Al |

#7 What does it matter when the President and Senate Majority Leader, House Minority Leader think so? Because balancing the books and not being a debtor is anti-government? Because the IRS targets individuals? Or are they a bit pissy because 68 years later the socialists still can't stop Third Army? Hat tip to Pacific Theatre, that was crazy legs over there. Pay my bills, volunteer fire, employ people, mow my yard, walk my kids to school and read them books at night. If you think I'm part of the problem or some crop to harvest, you need a re-evaluation. Especially if you are reading this before I post it. |

#6 Phfft. What do I care what they think? They didn't stop the navy shipyard shooting, aurora or any of the others. So either they know everything and don't care or they don't know much. And when the time comes to chose sides it will be too late for those bastards anyway. |

#5 You don't need any math for me. I'm a veteran and a Christian. Hardly worth wasting NSA resources on such as I, since we're already identified. |
