Not necessarily everyone in the world.
But to the NSA, certainly *EVERYONE* inside the United States of America is suspicious.
I read a line from TFA with disbelieve
"This argument is completely counter to our criminal justice system, in which we assume law enforcement will not conduct an investigation unless there are some indicia of criminal activity"
How naive the author of TFA can be !
The author should have known that the so-called "criminal justice system" of the United States of America is no longer the same one under the Constitution of the United States of America !
Under the "Patriot Act", under the Bush and Obama Administration, United States of America has essentially become the United Soviet of America.
There is no longer the presumption of innocent until proven guilty.
Nowadays, *EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT* no matter what you have done.
Nowadays, It is *UP TO THE DEFENDANT* to prove himself/herself innocent.
Yesssirreee, that's the USA that we've gotten, the United -freaking- SOVIET of America.
