    Mamdani could file charges against that audience member who threatened to shoot him. That was a terrorist threat. But good luck identifying a random person.

      If only there was infrastructure for identifying and tracking potential terrorists and criminals.

      Nah, let’s use it for identifying and tracking protesters or police officers’ crushes.
