I have this picture in my head when the average american opens a webpage, the server gets like 10 requests: one from him, 9 from a bunch of 3-letter government agencies. I'm sure there's a Yo Dawg joke in there somewhere...

And the brilliant part of this is they don't really have to have any of this technology, they just have to 'say' they have it, or better yet, have someone else say they have it. The public paranoia will take of the rest.
