The Emir saw little point in spending hundreds of his own dollars for every person in, or visiting, his country when he can just sample anyone his cops want to identify anyway.

Current terrorists are the explicit target today, but future politicians, journalists and social activists are the real, intentional targets.
That's what haystacks are for.
It allows them to build a mass dossier on everyone at once, without being accountable for individual dossiers on any one person until they need it for leverage.
Not quite. There's a critical difference which the court will address.
Embedded journalists are there professionally, and not as co-conspirators. Take, for example, the journalists who rode along with the Marines when they were fighting in Fallujah. One of those marines found a wounded insurgent trying to play dead and executed him. Only the presence of that journalist and his camera caused the crime to be uncovered and the footage secured a conviction.
Certainly, some embedded journalists are unabashed cheerleaders but even those ones tend to do their job first as professionals; never really becoming combatants themselves.
Deia Schlosberg chose to be a participant in the crime, for which her camera was the instrument of her activism.
Let's not forget what Deia Schlosberg was charged for.
She rode along with the activists which broke into pipeline compounds and started spinning valves. This could have resulted in one or more major pipeline breaks and spills.
Put as simply as possible, she was acting as publicist and videographer for an actual crime in progress. It doesn't matter that she claimed to be "doing journalism" because her active participation in that crime [by riding along and not notifying police of the crime in progress] makes her a direct participant in the crimes she filmed.
She has no defense because she joined that group as a willing criminal and failed to act otherwise at any point.
Amy, on the other hand [and even though she was obviously on the side of the protesters], did no such thing and simply acted as a legitimate journalist at all times.
The prosecutor's actions beyond this point are more likely to get him in trouble with the courts than do harm to Amy.
Instead of kicking them off completely confine them to their own echo chamber so they [and the TLAs] can only see each other.
The few smart ones will notice they are no longer visible to the public but the rest will blissfully go on, giving valuable information to law enforcement for several years.
Extradition wouldn't be needed. A civil suit could levy a fine and an injunction could stop the fraudulent threats right away. If they decide not to show up, courts can use a default judgement.
If they violate an injunction an extradition would be automatic and U.S. courts would honour it with little to no delay or discussion.
Keeping that mercury under glass and doing something useful is about as eco-friendly as it gets. Discarding and recycling that thermostat returns the mercury to the environment.
Even if it's "safely stored" or re-used in some way, some fraction of that mercury will inevitably escape.
"Smart" thermostats should all have at least one mercury switch inside so that no external failure causes a complete loss of control. That's the eco-responsible thing to do.
If "smart" IOT companies did that, failures would frequently pass with no-one noticing and virtually no energy wasted.
