Oh, no, it doesn't. Not least because there's so much data even they have trouble working out what to do with it all.
One has to seriously think about this. We, as a society, are signing away some of our most important rights for a statistically insignificant boost in security.
I live in Germany, but even here we still feel these changes, which were started with 9/11.
It's now the 14th anniversary of 9/11, and I have to say, long-term, Bin Laden has won. The western world has given up so many rights for the war on terrorism.
Giving up privacy just to collect more data, so we feel safer (while the data is just thrown away) is just another step where we forget that people are actually, well, people. With rights.
