Yes, however the government's is reactive to the terrorism.
Let's again ask this question. Financial data mining has been proven effective in the UK and (if the NY Times doesn't spill it first) most likely helping our Homeland security track specific cells.
What are the alternatives to tracking and or 'spying' on these potential threats? More men/tax moneys? Armed watchmen? Cameras? Liberties will be taken regardless.
Do we wait for something to happen?
