People have been killed by police for much less.
The question is how long it is before it's no longer newsworthy that "police shot and killed a suspected terrorist who had purchased the components necessary for a remotely fired gun; up next, how you can keep your children safe from these threats online".
Considering how broadly the federal government has interpreted this historically, arguably regulating far more than simple inter-state commerce, it seems like they could use this to outlaw this kind of activity.
But considering how all collected data in the US somehow ends up being able to be accessed by any and all departments that want it...
How long before purchasing a watch, an Arduino and a gun will result in SWAT kicking in your door?
