I disagree.

First and foremost, buzz phrases like "no expectation of privacy" have no constitutional basis and are simply an end run around Constitutional freedoms

Second, a government dossier on each and every citizen, er, subject, is 100% unconstitutional. And a very, very similar tactic used by the nearly endless list of failed authoritarian governments.

Third, warantless tracking of individuals with onboard GPS has been ruled unconstitutional. Why would tracking individuals with other means be any different.

As Americans, we have every expectation of going where we want, when we want, and it's nobody's business where or why. So that famous statement above is stunningly flawed.
