Take a big amorphous, poorly defined issue and rush at it with wads of money and no end point in sight.

Further, When you chase people around for "National Security" it gets to sound suspiciously like the type of "crime against the state" people in the old communist block countries spent years in jail for.

It's a can of worms, like the Patriot Act and only harm will come of it.
