  The NSA doesn't own any drones. It has no ops.

    It is not material that the actual kill is done by a different part of the government.

      It's of critical importance, actually. One person collects the data, "The man you're looking for is here." and another person decides what to do with that data. "We will kill him." or "We will capture him." or "We will kill him and anyone in the same room or building as him." The NSA doesn't decide what to do, the other part of the government does. It's of absolutely critical importance to remember that when discussing the extent of what the NSA knows and does.

        People wouldn't be "snatched up off the street" by the NSA either which was the original point of contention.
