People in America don't understand that they gave up their civil rights when the "patriot act" and similar laws were approved after 9/11. The federal government has the right given by congress to spy, detain, and imprison outside the standard rule of law, under the pretense of "attempted domestic terrorism". This is essentially minority report-style laws applied to the US, since they can do what they want on the excuse of crimes that would possibly happen in the future.
