People will not be protected under this rediculous plan as it would appear this is nothing more than big brother being allowed to aggregate data on U.S. citizens and profile us.
Nowhere is it mentioned and nor is it possible that the 55 Million foreign visitors that enter the U.S. every year will be able to have a similar amount of data regarding their potential threat assesment be calculated as the U.S. Government doesn't have access to credit and criminal data about any of the 310 Million Europeans or the 1.2 Billion Chinese or any other nation.
So it would appear this measure is only intended to know who is traveling within the U.S. and how to make it more difficult for deadwood Americans to be pestered away from using valuable resources better used by others.

The spiritual side of the film

From the beginning of the film we are faced with man's desire, and what appears to be a selfless act to do something good, and so a Robot is born. The Robot has been programmed to love and we look at how a Robot and Human might bond, more to the point we look in the mirror of how we bond with things or people unknown. The Robot grows through the emotions of happiness, fear, jealousy, abandonment, and will find the determination to start on a quest to fulfill its destiny, which is to become human. Through the Robot's own twist of fate, it finds itself before the object which the Robot believes will make it human. The Robot sits there and for 2000 years has the faith not to lose its gaze on that which promises to be its savior. As the Robot has endured its frozen, cold, abandoned, and lonely environment it emerges from its isolation to reach out and touch the phantom icon, only to witness it crumble before its eyes. The presence of another being then proceeds to take the Robot and explains certain realities of being and the temporary nature of the now apparently extinct Human population. They see the Robot as the last surviving example of this great culture. Granting the Robot its wish, these creatures allow the boy to be rewarded with his desire to be loved unconditionally. This is the love that once known becomes the basis for his dreams and his sense and accomplishment of achieving humanness.
This movie is about Humanity, our relationship with each other, and our faith. It follows the basic flow of development of any one of us after birth, how we learn to laugh, and cry, fear, and experience joy. It looks at the commonly felt emotion of abandonment, that some feel toward God and our perceptions of the tragedies that exist on earth. In man's desire to create something good, we see his motivation may not be as pure as we first perceive it to be, that it may be a selfish act that has the potential to hurt others, but that in the end may have a better outcome than had Humanity not strived to accomplish great things that exceeded our understanding. As the Robot's quest takes it on its journey, it finds no time for sentimentality or reflection, running blindly after the promise of salvation; it has faith. After coming face to face with its sacrosanct icon and not receiving the immediate gratification it thought was its due, the Robot has to endure 2000 years with the object of salvation just out of reach and apparently cold, uncaring, and unsympathetic to its quest. The faith to believe carries the Robot through the ages until benevolent beings appear and free the Robot. I suggest that the viewer not look at these beings as aliens, but try to understand that had the Directors used a voice-over to impart the presence of a spiritual being, the audience would have seen this as either the voice of God or that of a narrator. These beings I believe are our souls, which even they do not understand themselves to be. These beings or spirits are in this future date the archeologists of a great hidden and now nearly vanished culture of which only fragments are found, similar to any of our studies of the Egyptian, Native American, or Jurassic ages. Like us, these beings are looking back upon their own history and origins.
AI is a reminder of the journey of the soul in a man or woman to know who we are through the enlightenment of finding our Messiah, God, or Savior. It is a brilliant movie that will by its nature and subtlety confuse and probably attract misunderstanding and ridicule, as a large part of the audience will not understand the depths of story telling that these great Directors achieved with their desire to shed light on our own humanity and our own quest to rise to the heights of the heavens.

Thanks for pointing out that this is a rather old story. This appeared in a number of popular science magazines, as cover features with photos of the detector, and all over the web. This is old news, of which I've noticed a slow down on/. of news of any sort and some reprints.
The mystery force is time and the continual creation and disturbances that are inherent with its existence. As time expands or more precisely as time divides and multiplies thus expanding the universe, shockwaves are created that are producing anomalies in our measurements of what should otherwise be constants. My theory is that time can be seen as essentially a three dimensional particle that is dividing off in fours from existing particles of time. As these particles of time collide and form densities, which lead to matter, possibly all matter, they are affecting matter surrounding them similar to how we disturb our environment as we move through the atmosphere and collide into the particles that surround us. So as time expands the universe there may be shockwaves that tremble across space, which is, actually time that has manifested to such a density as to not create actual visual matter but is a wave or atmosphere of time sloshing through the universe. As the density of the universe changes with each passing moment, and the exponential growth of the universe due to the staggering amount of time particle division and growth, these fluctuations create slight distortions in the fabric of space and time that NASA doesn't yet understand the mechanics of. Time can be seen as a dividing cell, those cells group to form objects of matter, as these cells of time (particles) divide and the massiveness of the universe and the density of time that fills it continues growing, time forms an expansion that creates a motion outward or forward, time moving forward. It is my theory that we, our planet, the universe; all things are made of time. Different densities lead to different forms, but we all exist in the ubiquitous soup of time, our lifespan is a measurement of the object existing in time as being a part of time, I suggest we are an element made of a complex density of those particles, that we are Dimensional Morphogenetic Time entities. Due to the complex relationship of all these particles of time existing within the various densities of forms we are, have built, and that exist, different objects will behave differently as they course through their trajectory and meet and deflect off the various atmospheric densities of time that surround us or the object, in this case the Pioneer or Voyager spacecraft. The real fabric of reality is time. I would even like to suggest that the theory of everything and of creation have forgotten to take into account the moment that must have existed prior to the formation of the super string or the formation of the universe. As we learn to understand the relationship of time to our existence we will learn to look into the levels of reality and existence that we are being flung about. The satellite cannot be accurately measured because we must continue to look deeper, to understand more, if the measurements were predictable and constant we might lose our desire to better understand why.
