I'm willing to bet that anyone raising questions about data retention
will be told that the database can be used to help catch terrorists. I don't know about real life, but on Law&Order they've caught ordinary criminals many times by looking through EZPass records. Amd even at this late date Tony Soprano uses a regular New Jersey Turnpike ticket rather than EZPass on the opening credits, so I assume he figures it can be used to track him. (In an early episode Tony's on his kid's computer and says how "this cookie shit scares the hell out of me.")
