Presumably Homeland Security and its child agencies are targeting everybody within 100 miles of a border (~65% of the population) with any and every form of surveillance they can think of, because why not? It's very legal, and very cool.

Well they’re targeting incoming presidents of the USA for any reason so why not everyone else as well?

Cool as in "tacticool," like driving military surplus IED-hardened vehicles around for small town policing.

Is it just me, or has the ACLU been on a roll lately? I'm really enjoying its current direction. It might have just been that the most controversial headlines were getting the most airtime, but it seemed to be going off the tracks for a while.

They're "on a roll" lately because there's been egregious overstepping of government against free speech.
