1. "If I can save 1000 lives by having a border patrol guy reading my email..." So we're going to train all the border patrol people to be intelligence analysts? That sounds really expensive. If we're not going to do that, then they're not going to have the training required to make sense of that material. It's a pointless invasion of privacy. They're going to put innocent people in jail and be completely oblivious to actual bad actors who know how to hide their tracks. Remember, September 11th was avoidable but because the information channels were clogged with too much garbage the real threat information got lost in the noise. The real priority here should be to collect less information and ensure it's of a very high quality.
