I'm not a lawyer, but: Perhaps the false positive's supposed "mental anguish" at being in jail for a couple hours is outweighed by the coolness factor and brag rights at parties. And who cares if an employer learns that you were arrested and released due to mistaken identity. If the employer wants to use that as an excuse, sue them and win. Plus, you wouldn't want to work there anyway. And I'd also hope the false positive didn't sue the cops just for doing their job.

That's not how employment law works. Plus your current employer would probably not fire you because of an arrest. Suing over employment/dismissal is extremely hard and a giant waste of your time and life. And in the end, you'd probably end up with a huge bill regardless of the outcome.
As for the miscategorization issue, again, you cannot classify something based on the lack of evidence. That's not how most ML algos work. If you want to get classified and put into various databases, do some Google searches on various subjects of dangerous materials, their procurement, processing and use.
That's going to raise some flags for sure. Oh, and browse Islamic fundamentalist forums.

I never used Lavabit (never heard of it before that incident) but apparently the day after Snоwdеn went public in HK, the owner of the site got the NSL. So apparently they knew his email & provider right away! They must have extensive dossiers on their employees/contractors.
