Reminder: this is their #1 most used tool for collecting data. Snowden told us of the existence of this program under the codename PRISM.<p>This allows them to download the entire contents of your gmail instantly, directly from Google, without a warrant. Or your iCloud Photos and Backups (complete iMessage history) directly from Apple. No warrant required.

I like 702 in theory but I&#x27;m not sure I like the FBI having access since they are for domestic policing.<p>What changes should be made? The probable cause requirement for FBI sounds like a reasonable compromise.
