Except, you didn&#x27;t.<p>None of your previous references make clear what the reference you just added now does which is that the minimization procedures allow for retention and dissemination of __non-foreign intelligence__ information which is evidence of __ordinary crimes__.<p>I can see in your previous comment where that might have been what you meant but leaving out the keywords I emphasized is cause for confusion.<p>In any case, arguing over whether or not the content of this statute is &quot;news&quot; is just a distraction.<p>The EFF is challenging this statute and its application as unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment.  Despite the amicus agreeing at least in part, the court decided to uphold the statute and to continue allowing warrantless querying for ordinary crimes.<p>News or not, this is cause for concern and I applaud the EFF in its efforts to do something about it.
