This database is far too invasive, subject to misuse, and a monument to doing something "just because we can". Unless and until a court finds "probable cause", it should not be populated. Focus on the non-citizens and illegal entrants and get out of our personal business. Any data kept for any reason MUST be fully accessible to the person in question and subject to challenge and removal/correction. Full Privacy Act protection, although inadequate, must pertain. Criminal penalties for misuse must be specified WITH NO EXEMPTION FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, state or federal. This is a bad idea. Kill it.
