What agencies are operating outside of the law? What directors are perjuring before congress? Are you serious? Are you a professional BOT?
My husband retired from a Federal law enforcement agency in 2007, and we have a lot of friends who still work in various agencies that gather and analyze intelligence info under Homeland Security.
They work under the Patriot Act and are appalled that people think they have the time, resources or inclination to sift through data on millions of everyday citizens. They don’t.
The biggest threat to everyday citizens are rogue hackers. I dare say that we have all been impacted by them at one time or another.
You obviously haven’t been following this issue. Admiral James Clapper, directed of the NSA, lied to Congress about this issue.
