I'm not sure what you mean by proactive and centralized. I answered Mr. Paul-Hus to say I agree that the collection of information, including that of some who are not a threat, can be useful to actually identify threats.

If that's what you mean by proactive, yes, I agree with that, so long as there are safeguards to ensure that the privacy of those who are not threats is not at risk.
