The new administration’s plan on bulk data collection would supposedly end the collection of phone records by the NSA, without requiring a dangerous new data retention mandate for the phone companies, while restricting analysis to the current rules around terrorism and, importantly, still requiring a judge to sign off on each phone-record search made to the phone companies – under a new kind of court order. This phone plan, apparently, represents Obama coming full-circle as his self-imposed deadline on NSA reform arrives Friday, when the court order authorising bulk collection runs out. But there’s no indication that the presidents plan would stop other types of bulk collection – such as internet or financial records. Theres still the big question left of what the NSA could do with the data that is 2 hops away from a suspect... they havent changed anything. Things are only going to get worse!
