2.4 Collection Techniques...
These procedures shall not authorize:
...
(c) Physical surveillance of a United States
person in the United States by agencies
other than the FBI, except for:
(1) Physical surveillance of present or former
employees, present or former intelligence
agency contractors or their present or former
employees, or applicants for any such
employment or contracting; and
(2) Physical surveillance of a military person
employed by a nonintelligence element of a
military service.
This is written to look like it's constitutional but it's granting power through the wide-ranging exceptions. The upshot is it grants all agencies other than the FBI approval to surveil individuals covered by 2.4(c)1 & 2. The FBI gets a complete blank check on everyone. Covering "former employees" means this remains in effect until death for those affected.
