Like many government departments and agencies, those who use domestic surveillance have to burn through their budget to justify continuation at that level or higher in the next fiscal year. Every new sensor gives them more work to do and more money to request next year. It's an unstable dynamic that runs away with itself. The cure is to correct the incentivization structure to reward the attainment of carefully defined goals that are beneficial to society. Rewarding volume and enforcement actions creates an unstable dynamic. People will start leaving the country and there goes your tax base.
So glad this topic got covered by two excellent individuals
