> There is really no evidence so far that this massive surveillance apparatus is being used in a widespread way to abusively target Americans.

Widespread? Maybe not strictly widespread, but it is being abused. There was that guy recently, I forget the beef the government had with him, they couldn't justify a warrant to search his laptop, so they just waited for him to travel. They put a flag on him, and when he came up registered to fly out of the country they seized and searched his laptop when he crossed back in through the no rights zone, AKA the border.

Everything accelerates, and if it isn't yet "widespread," it will be. It's certainly being done more than zero times.
