Deja Vu: The FBI Proves Again It Can’t be Trusted with Section 702 (www.eff.org)

The FBI doesn’t believe that either our rights or the limitations that Congress has placed upon them matter when it comes to the vast amount of information about us collected under FISA Section 702. The latest exhibit in this is in yet another newly declassified opinion of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). This opinion further reiterates what we already know, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation simply cannot be trusted with conducting foreign intelligence queries on American persons.

Oh I haven't seen that one before. I hope you don't mind if I steal and repost it.

The security state and acronymn agencies are active enemies of liberty and of those they get their funding from and ostensibly claim to serve.
