Regarding #2, &quot;trust, but verify&quot;.<p>I think we need a (i) strong and (ii) independent audit system. We have the technology to make it strong, just borrow it from other federal agencies who specialize in intelligence. And with enforcement relying more and more on data gathering and extraction, audits would help ensure these are not misused, and help validate how well due process is followed.<p>The independent part would have to mean it is run by an agency that it <i>not</i> part of enforcement and in a way that is hard to influence. Who exactly it would report to, I&#x27;m not sure. Maybe a peer agency of the FBI &amp; CIA?<p>That audit system would data-mine all enforcement activities and keep the data locked up in a vault. That data could then be requested via subpoena (for investigations like these) or FOIA requests (after a &quot;reasonable&quot; time to prevent interference with actual investigations).
