Not quite dear.

1500 is not a fact, but certainly no fantasy. It is a mathematical prediction based on two assumptions. N: the number of terrorists hiding amongst the US population, and A: the accuracy of NSA's mysterious identification formula. I used N=2000 (wild ass guess), and A=99% (extremely generous don't you agree?). Now, do the math yourself, or follow it closely above. Substitute whatever numbers you think are reasonable for N and A, and you will arrive at a ratio of imprisoned innocents to imprisoned terrorists. Then don't try to spin the question. It's simple. How many imprisoned innocents are worth one imprisoned terrorist.

Remember, you, your Mom, your daughter, your piano teacher...anyone could be yanked, even with nothing to hide.

And your acceptable number is...?
