We're still dealing with GIGO systems and analytics, though. Google has some of the best analytics in the world and even they sometimes can't come up with something I'm specifically looking for, even if I know it's there. The ability to sort out general people with the level of obscuring referentials that people use would be impossible at the current tech levels. Using specific targets, intelligence can come up with enough human eyes to review limitted segments of data, but one of the gifts of the technological age is the ever increasing amount of data that would require reviewing if one were using a broad sweep. It isn't exactly safety in numbers, it's more an increasingly lower likelihood of being the one person picked out of an ever increasing crowd. (otherwise known as the antithesis of the "well somebody has to win the lottery" theory of financial planning :P )
