Posse Comitatus only limits certain limited portions of the military from enforcing domestic policies, such as law enforcement. It does not limit SIGINT collection or other prescribed governmental functions.

This comment, like the GP comment, serves to illustrate many people hold strong opinions on subjects where those opinions do not align with any evidence.
- jl2718 6y agoThere was a poster in every SCIF in Afghanistan about this. It at least has to be cleared by civil authorities. Anybody with a US visa, residency, or citizenship. I’m not an expert, but these were the rules we followed. I don’t know what you’re talking about with ‘evidence’. These are rules of man, not of god or nature.
- austincheney 6y agoI have visited many SCIFs in Afghanistan and never did I see anything about Posse Comitatus. Since you mention not knowing what evidence is here is a definition: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence In short evidence largely means not inventing your own imaginary bullshit.
