I know this, just as the FBI has admitted wide misuse and abuse of the Patriot Act regulations that granted them enhanced rights, that when you "give" any gvt an inch they will take a mile.
Proven in many ways and in all periods of history worldwide.
It is one of the truisms of life, when you grant gvt enhanced special rights because of a momentary fear you regret it down the road.
Human nature kicks in.
National Security is a gvt mandate, but that doesn't mean they are any better at that than managing the economy,welfare programs, you name it.
