Now does this not just figure? One person from the group comes up with a compromise that might, MIGHT, make this a little more palatable, and it goes nowhere:

Probably partially because the suggestion comes from a former military member. The military does not share in their desperate need for this. They have the DIA, which is both more effective, and is relatively uninvolved in this NSA fiasco. They must get involved at times it seems, but then maybe not. Their methods have always succeeded where the NSA failed. Makes one wonder what they do differently, does it not?
How did they do it before all the technology..... they actually really worked for a living.... now they want to catch people by sitting on their butts.  Sorry, but its true....  they need to get out from behind their computer screens and go find information.... talk to people, get leads.... whatever they do..... earn their wages, because the taxpayer pays them to work...  They have turned it around so that they can spy on the taxpayer who pays their wages ....   They are public servants and are supposed to be working for us not against us....
