There are two phases. The first is to find leads. The second is to snoop on those leads. If you take your argument to a logical conclusion, you would put all conversations (verbal, in text format, sign language, and even graphics) into a huge data bank and fish the data bank for leads to be followed by more intensive snooping on those leads. 1. Why should that only be confined to terrorism and not all criminal activity? 2. George Bush has said that if AQ is calling, he wants to know who and why they are calling. Isn't AQ just as smart as all those jerks on the Internet sending out spam to all the email addresses. Aren't they going to put all telephone numbers into their directory and call everybody - just like the telemarketers and put everybody on the terrorists watch list. This is all so Brave New Worldly. Nevertheless I don't think we need a new Constitution. Checks and balances. No one is above the law. I suggest we keep our Constitution and modify FISA to take in the new realities. It is that simple.
