    Traditional, effective surveillance means targeting suspects. Not a population. Not a technology. Not a service. The suspect.

        @Snowden The "Big Data" premise behind mass surveillance is still "if we add more hay, maybe we will find more needles." And it's crap.

        @Snowden @ioerror But then there’s the school of thought that actually considers entire populations to be suspects.

        @Snowden Ubiquitous surveillance must then imply that they think EVERYONE is a suspect.
