In practice, it provides for parallel construction in order to conduct domestic surveillance of US citizens by bringing a secret action against a foreign correspondent.
- kyboren 3y agoIf the HPSCI version passes, it will be legal (and presumably, automatic) to target any non-citizen or permanent resident traveling to the US and search "one end foreign" 702 data on them. Of course, if they're traveling to the US, it's much more likely that they're communicating with Americans (e.g. visiting friends). Which means that scrutiny of Americans' conversations, swept up en masse, will dramatically increase. If that passes, tell your friends not to visit America. Because if they do, then all your conversations with them are totally fair game for secret government review.
