    Here some excerpts for lazy people like me. This is how they try to justify not doing anything about a lack of privacy for US citizens.

    Getting a FISA court order is bureaucratically cumbersome and would slow down investigations — especially fast-moving cybercases

    Yeah sure, because we dont constantly keep seeing atrocities being commited even when the feds already had intel weeks, months or even years before anything happened.

    probable cause needed for a warrant is rarely available early in an investigation. But that’s precisely when these queries are most useful

    So we just abolish probable cause and the burden of proof step by step because it makes things slightly easier? Sounds like fascism to me.
