If you're ordinary enough you're probably not triggering any flags, so you'd probably already not really being considered part of the dataset.

One person opting out probably won't help them at all, but it would be interesting to consider a more scaled up "opt out" program whereby you go through a one-time deep check and might be granted less monitoring as a result. They would need to sufficiently automate it to make it feasible, though. I also suspect the people who feel most strongly about opting out would also be against the idea of even a one-time check.

No, that would not be interesting, that would be treason.
