Which just proves that they're using this "news" as a tool for getting
attention. How long has their Lennon lawsuit been going on? If this is
a "greater expansion" how do they explain that lawsuit?

While I may not approve, its obvious that today's surveillance is for
a greater cause than it was in the late 60's and early 70's.
