Why Hidden: Actions are internal, prioritized for agency stability and national security confidentiality, leading to public perception of inaction (Rolling Back the Post-9/11 Surveillance State).
Legal Frameworks: Patriot Act, 5 U.S.C. § 2302, 5 U.S.C. § 7512 enable internal discipline with limited transparency.
