59. Mocking paranoia is not RW.

I find it mighty narcissistic to think that you are so special and dangerous that the Evil Gummit is out to get you personally.

Yes, they have a lot of data, but it's meaningless without being analyzed, and there is just too much of it. The CIA and DHS are staffed by ordinary human beings, not supermen with superpowers.

Now the TSA, there is a more pressing concern.
