The way the Boston bombers got caught? Or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the guy who tried to blow up that plane in Detroit? As I recall, his own father went to the FBI and personally warned them his son may be up to something. They did nothing.... because they were too busy wasting time and money and effort spying on innocent people instead.

Keep in mind, this is a government that loves terrorists and showers them with aid and money. It has a policy of zero accountability for everyone involved in torture (which hasn't stopped at all since 2009, by the way) and has done nothing but reward the criminal bankers that crashed the entire economy with fraud. It indiscriminately targets people for murder based on nothing but accusations, and considers whistleblowers and journalists to be enemies.

Anything at all can make you a person of interest. If this president can have his own citizens killed just for having certain opinions (and he has), so can the next and the one after. And they'll be even more indiscriminate in the future.
