I would say that the most important issue is that an already over-powered law enforcement agency is asking for even more power. The recent journalist surveillance scandal should give a clue about the dangers of law enforcement surveillance. This proposal by the FBI will make that sort of surveillance easier. They are trying to grab more power to gather evidence against people, and by extension more power to arrest people. We already have the largest prison population in the world. There is no pressing need to expand it.
