The House of Representatives has passed a bill
limiting the ability of the NSA to spy on contents without warrants, but was
unwilling to intervene in the way the secret FISA court operates. The Los Angeles Times has a story by Lisa
Mascaro here.
The LA Times characterized the surveillance as “dragnet
style”, as after the famous TV program with Jack Webb from the 1950s (and at
least one film, which my parents let me see alone). “It was warm in Los Angeles…”
Technology
companies are concerned that that the “selection criteria” for searches still
can be very broad.
Tyler Hurden, of Zero Hedge, called the bill “gutted
beyond recognition”, link here.
I don’t think this changes much of anything.
