To the disruption their mindless decisions will have. The technology to track people's individual interstate commerce is not the same telephone and telegraph system of 50 years ago. The potential for privacy invasion is exponentially more technologically intense and enhanced than 1970. People will be finding themselves in the spotlight and if it goes like it usually does, most won't have a clue why they're getting the knock on their door.
