One point of clarification, the IC has never been about law enforcement, so complaints about surveilling people not suspected of a crime is a non-sequitor.

It is true that IC and LEO are distinct groups and ought to be considered that way. Regarding surveillance and specifically the points I raised, I belive the similarities (of LEO and IC) matter more than their differences. Here we can consider them in the same light. By way of example: While the FBI utilizes IC collected data, they also run their own surveillance units - which present the same issues raised by IC collections. The vast majority of individuals who appear in FBI data are not suspected of a crime and the FBI rarely (if ever) tells meaningful public truths about their collections.
