That's impossibel, since all of the information is secret/classified, so we don't even know who has been watched, nor what records they are keeping on you.
Kinda like the TSA with their "CAPPS II" system.
This crap gets passed due to FUD - Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt - and the politicians are more than happy to keep flinging the FUD around so that people like you say, "But we NEEEEED it!" *sigh*
