Well there's an argument to be made that a mistaken analysis as to your "threat level" curtails your personal freedom and has a detrimental impact on your ability to accomplish your goals. Just as the existence of your credit score doesn't impinge upon your fundamental rights as a human, its existence means it can be used to discriminate and that by bringing it into existence you've created opportunities for abuse. Once it exists and you assume it exists you have to change your behavior in a way that maximizes outcomes for yourself. Its subtle psychological coercion. At the very least decisions made by non-elected officials in the name of national security need oversight. So even if you yourself are not political, just by surveilling you they have forced you to become political in the sense that now you MUST participate in an issue and debate regarding the value of national security vs. your personal security.
