I think that 'surveillance state' and 'precrime' are emotionally laden words that do not align with what I believe. Regardless of what I want, we have a surveillance state. Regardless of what I want, some beliefs lead to violent action and some do not. Regardless of what I want, people are going to die. I'm in no way suggesting jailing individuals for things that they haven't done. I am in favor of targeted application of limited mental health resources to the places the would do the most good, measured in human lives saved by prevention of violently anti-social acts committed by (for whatever stated 'reason') unstable, radical individuals.
