It seems we are agreeing on this. It’s just the FISA court that has an issue. People with clearances consent to extreme levels of surveillance. But when this database was created, rules were set in place that protected folks, even those with clearances, from being searched for unless there was a darn good reason. Routine background checks don’t count. Of course, foreigners have no such rights. So politically, you, me, and Bruce Schneier agree OK. But that’s not what the law says. I just find it weird we are stripping foreigners of any and all protection, while Americans have so much protection even obvious use case are violations. It feels Kafkaesque. It also feels like there’s an element of “who watches the watchmen?” Not this database.
