Given that the TSA considers every single citizen boarding a plane "suspicious", and that the Obama administration had to be pressed for months to concede that droning American citizens on US soil without trial would not be within its power, exactly what limits are there on flagging something as "suspicious"? Along with TSA's VIPR, FINCEN is just part of the not-so-stealth rollback of our Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure. I do believe however that American citizens should have the power to audit any government official's finances at whim. Let's start with that. If they aren't doing anything wrong, nothing to fear. We really want some kind of open source Palantir to train on government officials who propose things like this, and people who lobby for them, just to give them a taste of what it's like to be under the microscope. Somewhat reminiscent of CNET publishing the address of Eric Schmidt's house; sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
