Here's what I'm talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intelligence_Surveillance_Court#FISA_warrants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intellig... 41,222 warrants requests submitted to a secret Federal court since 1979. 85 rejected. 0.2% rejection rate, they rubber stamp virtually everything submitted to them, and I don't believe for an instant it's because federal investigator and prosecutors are just that good. This sort of shit is a greater threat to civil liberty than any sort of terrorism.

A federal judge approved a search warrant against me because supposedly an unnamed dog told an unnamed officer who told a (named) detective that it smelled "potential contraband" up my ass. Not even the testimony of an officer, just 3rd degree anonymous hearsay. FISA warrants are bad and the regular federal warrants process isn't much better.
