This is bonkers level insane. What are we doing here??? Besides the *obvious* awfulness of spying on us and putting suspicion ahead of probable cause, what a WASTE OF MONEY. Guessing they find few traffickers and mostly are stopping regular folk. Human intel works WAY better than random flagging.

So we get spied on, and for what result? No accountability on this secret program means no one KNOWS. Not to mention, even if they stopped a few bad guys, is it worth it to spy on everyone?? Gathering human intel is hard work, but CPB is lazy AF and also, evil. Abolish CBP.

People were so willing to give up freedoms for the promise of safety after 9/11. This mass surveillance is a continuation of that intrusion into our lives. Are we safer yet? No. I think the danger is coming from our own gov't. Bin Laden won.

This is Soviet-KGB-level stuff. The state is literally serveling American citizens for activity it deems "illegal" without a warrant or any pretence to observe prohibitions against lawless search and seizure. Because what else do you call a covert spying network designed to root out state offenses?

It's closer to China. In China, you get a score, and based on your activities, your score goes down and you are denied things like jobs, purchases, travel, etc. It's a social score like a credit score.

Your describing a state surveil system, yes, but not one designed to catch people so they can be unlawfully abducted and trafficked to gulags or to 3rd world countries in conflict zones. Putin is a product of the KGB; Trump's DOJ is KGB light. That is not a coincidence.

Also, China got its Communism from Russia post-1919 (See May 4th Incident) Mao Zedong was introduced to Marxism while doing a summer internship at Beijing University library, and forwent earning his degree in Education. China's CCP was not independently created.

It’s contrary to the Constitution and Bill of Rights! We have a right to travel freely within our own borders! That’s why when a cop “casually” asks you “where you headed?” during a traffic stop you point forward and say “that way.”

"Critics call it mass surveillance." I'm pretty sure that even the uncritical amongst us would say the same thing, while peppering in a few spicy pejoratives.

I find people who carry assault rifles, wear body armor, and hide behind masks while abducting people for no reason to be "suspicious." But that's just me. Also, why do they wear woodland camo in urban environments? Do they all go hunting after work?

Luckily the NRA and their dues paying dupes are here to fight back this tyranny. How’s that tree of liberty doing, neckbeards? You knobs don’t seem so interested in watering it anymore and it’s looking dry as fuck.
