This bill was extremely close to becoming law in 2013 before Snowden. The nice thing that happened in the meantime is we got a stronger law passed in California that applied to all digital service customer information and not just messages.
We think what the Intel Community wants in this bills is a PRISM like program for UK law enforcement and GCHQ.

- mtgx 11y agoECPA already has "emergency" carve-outs in it, when a warrant is not required. If it's not restricted, it could easily be as abused as the NSLs are. At the very least a judge should be able to retrospectively review the law enforcement request and all the data they got (and the company itself should have evidence of all of this as well).
