This is ridiculous dragnetting.

The DEA already have the ability to ask for specific customer records without a warrant through HIPAA privacy rule exceptions. And good luck convincing your therapist or doctor that fulfilling such requests is a voluntary act on their part. That highly televised doctor-patient confidentiality is pretty much a myth once you reach the federal level.

That is bad enough, but now they want to simply take everyone's data and push it through algorithms to generate leads for more action? These guys are worse than sales people.
