Slightly disagree

Yes, basic data collection is necessary to track suspected terrorists

While Stevenson recognized the need for national security, his commitment to civil liberties suggests he would have been wary of such broad data collection without specific cause. He might have been somewhat open to this approach if he saw it as a necessary evil, but would likely have preferred more targeted methods.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish the NSA
