“Former NSA boss Michael Hayden compared privacy advocates to terrorists. Complaining about the taste of your tap water could also get you labeled as a potential terrorist. Having ‘strange odors’ or ‘bright colored stains on clothes’ (what if you eat mustard or ketchup?) could get you labeled as a potential terrorist. Complaining about U.S. drone assassinations could get you labeled a terrorist. So could expressing fears of big brother or of economic collapse … or otherwise believing that we’re in a crisis. (Irony alert: if you’re afraid of the government, the government might go after you?) Indeed, any American could be labeled as a potential terrorist by our government on a whim.”
