Comment on H.R.2818 - Surveillance State Repeal Act

Comments

Stunningly interesting exceptions and, if I'm reading this right, not necessarily an improvement:

"Repeals the USA PATRIOT Act ... except with respect to ... the acquisition of intelligence information concerning an entity not substantially composed of U.S. persons that is engaged in the international proliferation of weapons of mass destruction."

"Requires orders ... to direct ... any person or entity must furnish all information, facilities, or technical assistance necessary to accomplish such surveillance

- in a manner to protect its secrecy and produce a minimum of interference with the services

- that such carrier, landlord, custodian, or other person is providing the target of such surveillance

- (thereby retaining the ability to conduct surveillance on such targets regardless of the type of communications methods or devices being used by the subject of the surveillance)."
