On the one hand, the bill allows LEAs to more conveniently wiretap, and the like. And, it will always require a court order, although it may require fewer court orders, and there is some funny stuff about allowing the LEAs to stretch a court order beyond its original bounds, which seems questionable.

What makes the need for this even more questionable is the fact that it's fairly easy to get a court order under current laws. I think it was the year 1999 where the FBI wasn't turned down for a wiretap or search permit even once out of tens of thousands of requests.
Does anyone else think that the name "Home Land Defense Agency" sounds like something right out of a communist or facist country?
