The FBI acknowledged Friday that it had investigated Tsarnaev in 2011, even interviewing him and his family, but “did not find any terrorism activity,” either domestic or foreign.

The FBI can be interviewing people today. They have no idea what those people will do in 2015. This practically calls for a surveillance state.
