Each area has its own legends, customs, and traditions.

For example, Massachusetts hasn't had a witch problem since 1692.

True. They already do it through monitoring our Internet connections, cell
phones, land lines, credit & debit card statements, bank transactions, etc...
Why would they need another method?
