I read Brave New World a long time ago, but my memory of it does not include widespread surveillance; I am not sure it really fits this story well. Neither does 1984, of course; the leaker in this case is relatively low in the hierarchy of the government, and he is well-paid and lives in a beautiful place.
If anything, Minority Report is what we should send. The entire purpose of this program is to find terrorists before they commit their crimes. The surveillance is widespread (as it is in Minority Report). People live comfortable lives until they become targets, and becoming a target occurs without warning and can happen to anyone.
