In no way will Homeland Security go down the J. Edgar Hoover route of keeping files on political opponents and using them to extract concessions or political advantage. That would not be sporting:

From Robert Parry via a Tiny Revolution.
ACLU? How does one use philanthropy to undo the damage done by a secret surveillance apparatus?
What sort of data do you suppose the Republicans are collecting about the Clintons' movements? Texture? Color? Odor? Regularity? My grandfather used to question us about that sort of thing but I rather thought that particular obsession had gone out of style in America.
