    I wonder how some of these activities would come across if they were accompanied with a legal requirement to publish the numbers and a follow-on public vote to keep it or not. How many times was it used? How many convictions per use? How many sentences were 5+ years? How many failures to prosecute?

    Catching an actual terrorist is a good thing, but not at the expense of hiding bad actors from the people paying taxes. Show the people, transparently, it’s doing what you say it will, or stop.
