A puzzlement here is that they said before 9-11 they had too much information to handle, that the data, warnings, and actions of suspicious folks didn't rise to the level. That there was too much chaff to detect the wheat. So now they want even more at the cost of freedom for citizens, and can't stay within the law even on that.

"The FBI director doesn't know the law that he's enforcing," Dempsey said. The inspector general and Mueller are arguing that this is a problem of poorly trained lower level agents, "and the guy responsible for implementing the law and the inspector general's recommendations still doesn't understand the law."

And now they don't even know the laws they are supposed to enforce.

Ridiculous that these people have any powers. Barney in Mayberry at least knew the laws he was supposed to enforce.
