Government needs the flexibility to exercise the pending three acts in order to protect citizens. However, it would be nice to know they are being held accountable.

In other words... which ever division gets this almighty power to tap phones, businesses, etc. needs to be transparent to a "non-affiliated" (a loose term to describe two government agencies, I know) almighty power. Something like the relationship between the fed reserve and the treasury.

Also, the authors should re-word the act and say these powers only apply to suspected terrorist groups... just to give us a little piece of mind.
