The dictionary describes an idealogue as "one given to fanciful ideas or theories". Unfortunately the Department of Homeland Security is replete with such people. They are dangerous to our health and well being because of their fantasies, in particular the notion that one's social media activities are private and not subject to search.
The most egregious and astonishing fact associated with the failure to prevent the recent tragic loss of fourteen lives in San Bernardino was the intentional omission of a search of social media activity in the name of political correctness. What utter nonsense! The murdering terrorists were active on certain Internet sites that could easily have been discovered by even mediocre technical talent. But the examination of such sites was deemed an invasion of privacy by the government agency whose principal function is to protect the public. Their employees are forbidden to look at social media sites when searching for bad guys . . . or gals.
