This is fantastic. I’ve worked on this problem and it’s an incredible invasion of privacy.
However, until we get clarification from FISA courts we will still have to deal with it. The problem is the line where FISA has been used to acquire information for criminal prosecution rather than for intelligence purposes, and the broader and broader definition of terrorist and the dramatic expansion of domestic watchlists in recent times.
Let’s hope that it gets unilaterally outlawed and then FISA is forced to follow the supreme law of the land in future rulings.
