What it means is that massive amounts of information can now be collected in order to anticipate threats and to anticipate individuals who might engage in wrongdoing. That approach is what the founders rejected. While information is being collected under foreign intelligence authorities, in certain circumstances, it may be used and is being used for criminal prosecution.
