Mass data collection doesn't discriminate. These organizations are in the business of collecting everything about you. "Debt collection" is just their primary business.

For ex, most American pharmacies sell what prescriptions people are buying [1] to data mining companies. But they at least "de-identify", due to federal regulations. TSA operates outside quite a few laws/regulations protecting individual rights. We can now add information privacy to that list.
