Yeah. Clearly it's not that the mass surveillance in place in the nations with advanced economies doesn't actually help prevent terrorist attacks. It's that there isn't enough mass surveillance.

You're absolutely right - a little mass surveillance is a lot of nonsense. For it to be really effective, it has to blanket everything: emails, phone conversations, GPS location, the lot.

But would you want to live in a state like that?
