“Do you believe the police should be limited to needing warrants to search your person and property? After all,it would be so much easier if they could just search anyone’s home,car,pockets,phone, and mind without limits.”
The question was not should warrants be required for a search. The question was should NSA be allowed to develop tools and techniques that could be used for a search.
Are you saying that NSA should have a warrant from a judge to search a specific target before it’s allowed to develop the tools necessary to conduct that search?
Should the tools be made in such a way that they can only be used to search IAW a specific warrant? Exactly how do you propose building such tools?
Are you seriously trying to excuse spying on American citizens?

Why yes, yes you are.
There is ZERO legitimate use for spying on American Citizens.
And to date their super snoop programs have yielded exactly ZERO hits on actual bad guys.
Do you know why?
Well, for starters, our defensive organizations are prohibited from identifying the enemy, the enemy being *drumroll* MUSLIMS!
So while you go about justifying the NSA being elbow deep in your sphincter, remember that everything YOU are saying is subject to being data mined and collated while actual terrorists are given a free pass simply due to being muslim!
Should NSA be allowed to ignore all the laws against “reverse engineering “and so on” In other words is breaking the laws o.k. of the government does it?
If the government agencies are permitted to ignore the laws shouldn’t the rest of us at least KNOW?
Maybe we could just honestly declare the Constitution was a pretty impressive bunch of words meant to lull the people but meant to be ignored by those in positions of power?!
