And finally this makes me think of the legacy of 9/11/2001, the Patriot Act, and databases. Having large amounts of data can make actual investigation somewhat overwhelming. Just like the security guards at Logan Airport failed to note the multiple appearances of the hijackers in restricted space in the days prior to the actual hijackings, and the report from James Woods about the alarming behavior of a passenger seated next to him on a flight - data is ignored by investigators but it is of deep interest to people who are looking to exploit patterns. Collecting metadata just makes it more available to the people who would take advantage of it.
