Senator Burr Pitches 702 ‚Reform‘ That Would Give NSA Back Its Most Abused Collection Program

The Senate Intelligence Committee has released its Section 702 reauthorization bill [PDF]. Rather than fix anything, it makes pretty much everything worse. This is largely due to Sen. Burr‘s influence, who probably felt he had to bring something to the debate, but couldn‘t bear to part completely with his „clean, forever reauthorization“ dreams.

Senator Burr is somehow claiming this is a „reform“ bill.
