The PCLOB clearly sees through the feds‘ ridiculous re-interpretation of the word „relevant“ as well — calling it „untenable“ and „dangerously overbroad.“

„The government has argued, and the FISA court has agreed, that essentially the entire nation’s calling records are “relevant” to every counterterrorism investigation cited in the government’s applications to the court. This position is untenable. Moreover, the interpretation of Section 215 adopted by the FISA court is dangerously overbroad, leading to the implication that virtually all information may be relevant to counterterrorism and therefore subject to collection by the government.“
