When a cop pulls you over he can always 'find a reason' to detain you legally for an hour. This kind of snooping broadens that ability and puts it in the hands of independent, for profit, contractors who can use federal agents by proxy to detain you for days, weeks, months or years.
When the government killed 'foreigners' with drones nobody said much. When they killed an American citizen with a drone people started to get it. This is the next step in the Gitmotization of our legal system, where anything you have ever said to anyone or thought aloud can be parsed by computers to cross-reference tens of thousands of obscure regulations for the sole purpose of finding a reason to arrest or detain you indefinitely.
All in the name of 'security'
