“This expanded power now permits the officials at the NCTC to run dragnets of databases provided from federal, state or local sources in order to search for potential “patterns” of terrorist behavior.”

Other applicable agencies didn’t use these methods to see the “patterns” leading up to Benghazi?

What a crock. What a lyin’ crock of TREASONOUS TRAITORS.

DISMANTLE these agencies.

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM

While we’re at it DISMANTLE the newly formed CFPB...funded by the Federal Reserve and NOT subject to congressional oversight.

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

who knows if a simple shopping trip will earn the prying ears of a warrantless wiretap

That would be FBI. The author does not seem to realize that the FBI is doing everything mentioned in the article and more, and the NCTC sucks in the stuff with potential links to terrorism. Now they are hanging on to it longer and "fishing", see http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/12/gov-dossiers-on-us-citizens/ but it is still info that the FBI collects and presumably keeps without restrictions.

These government alphabet agencies are meticulously tracking grandpa and his legal purchase of a hunting rifle, but missing major red flags like Major Hasan going Islam and murdering all those soldiers at Fort Hood. Typical. The government has become paranoid of its own civilians.
