The the cops, the FBI and the intelligence agencies submit thousands of requests to snoop on citizens and foreigners every year. The FISA court[s] approve all but a half dozen or so. In short, the cops and intel agencies get to snoop anyone they please, anytime they please. And a FISA snooping license allows them to tap your phone, intercept your email, see your Facebook page, and do other stuff that we don't even know about.
Since the FISA court[s] approve nearly all snooping requests why have them at all. Just let the cops and the intel agencies get on with it. The results are the same as we have right now.
What we really ought to do is require the cops and the agencies submit their snooping requests to real courts, the kind that do business five days a week and try real criminal cases, in front of real juries, and sentence real criminals.
