These programs are all about domestic law enforcement. (The same goes for ICE checkpoints inside the us borders).
In the case of TSA and ICE, they feed the prison system with more petty drug offenders.
NSA data is widely used for “alternate reconstruction”, where the NSA flags someone and then the police falsify evidence to make it seem to the courts as though the evidence was obtained legally.
Note that there’s no need to even lie about illegal surveillance that is outsourced to companies like Facebook and palintir, since the right to privacy only extends to government actions in the US (not government contractors).
