"flagged by pre-crime surveillance"

Who thought that the efforts to control crime would be so close to what was illustrated in the short story "The Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick?

How soon will the state start convicting citizens for precrimes? It seems like a small step from conspiracy.  And does the state really need a conviction or indefinitely detention? The psych ward has been used for decades for the same purpose. Wait! They're using it again.

Just the one quote seen in Tinfoil Tuesday's post, "The Empire's Veteran Problem," is chilling:

"flagged by pre-crime surveillance"
