Is it unreasonable to specifically collect information on non-citizens? Perhaps. Is it unexpected? I don't think so. Most current threats are currently perceived to originate from non-military, non-governmental entities if the media is to be believed. I would expect all countries for which I am not a citizen to compile an in-depth dossier of me at any opportunity they have, assuming their intentions and incentives align with any other country conducting the same activity.
