The government stopped using watch lists. It's easier just to watch everyone.

One of the things I remember Snowden saying about the NSA's data collection is, something to the effect of, "It doesn't even make sense. If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, the answer isn't more hay." I was still outraged by the government's collection of my meta data, but it did make me feel a little better about their ability weaponize that data competently.

It's not so much the excess hay their collecting, it's the giant electromagnetic they're building.
