They claim they are stopping terrorist activity, but have yet to name one time. As many have noted, this is most likely spying for other reasons, including corporations. They knew about these people. The guy was a felon. But was still pictured with guns and seen on the Bundy Ranch with guns. How come he wasn't busted immediately? How many others at Chez Bundy (who seemed to be able to just camp out for months) had the same background?
