For all of you who want to give the FBI more powers read the article and decided if they can be trusted with your privacy.

Let me just get this straight — Is this the same FBI that thoroughly investigated the downing of TWA flight 800?

I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to think they wouldn't abuse these.

I'm shocked.

I’m not in favor of giving the FBI ever increasing power unless and until they actually demonstrate that they’re sincere about locating, identifying and investigating *serious* threats to our national security.

I could care less about old-as-Hell press releases about D.B. Cooper and other cases that should just be closed as ‘unsolved’, but what the FBI doesn’t seem to understand is that they have finite numbers of employees, even smaller finite number of employees that are capable of studying, comprehending, and taking appropriate action on intercepted communications. Having said that, there are almost an INfinite number of electronic communications that take place each and every day and night, 365 days a year, and it is absolutely impossible to capture and review each and every one of those communications.

They can use word scanners, text sniffers, all sorts of stuff but the bottom line is still that there is too much data, and too few people able to review that data accurately and responsibly.

Iow, the FBI is no different than a tiny little rodent that thinks it’s going to eat an entire elephant.

Even if it can cook the elephant, how long is it going to take to digest the SOB?

I rest my case.

Mueller has kept a low profile and very seldom appears in the news or in political discussions. But I must say he seems to have done a LOUSY job. He has done nothing to deal with the chief problem of the FBI: clintonoids and leftists who abuse the rights of citizens but seem to have zero interest in the security of our country.

It is still basically bill & hillary clinton’s FBI, ready and waiting for their return.

The breach occurred in part, by banks, telecommunication companies and other private businesses giving the FBI more personal client data than was requested

Ummm... you don't think those institutions are not already selling that data to anyone willing to pay for it?

Look, this is no joke, using security letters to get otherwise unobtainable data on people from Banks other than by due process. Due process guarantees that some bank guy won't devulge your commercial secrets to competitors through the FBI for example, or call the IRS because your former employer didn't understand that credit card charge on your expence account?

This Bull $hit has to stop.

One way to stop it is simply to publish a list of names of all those people whose personal information was ILLEGALLY obtained, on the fraudulent basis of national security. Then those responsible need to be placed in jeopardy to pay any damages caused by their illegal actions.

The breach occurred in part, by banks, telecommunication companies and other private businesses giving the FBI more personal client data than was requested, according to Mueller.

The above says that it was the banks, telecommunications companies and other private businesses that caused the breach in privacy.
