    "Israel's massive surveillance system failed. We need to massively invest in the same approach here."

    By what logic does failing to stop an attack on foreign soil imply you should keep surveilling your own citizens?

    Logically isn’t this a stronger advice of “if you conduct stop an action with hundreds involved and multiple countries, what’s the point of all your surveillance?”

    Of course. Isn't this what they say every time? We need more secret government.

    Government of the people. No... we don't need it more secretive. Go find a job in the peace corp lady and let's have way fewer secrets FOR the people.

    Unfortunately the new "mass surveillance" program will be surveilling American citizens and not bother to look at world threats. As usual.

    Show up in every election and vote (and be engaged in other ways politically). It's very easy to ignore people who don't vote. Don't like your options at the polls? Participate in primaries and donate to campaigns pushing ranked choice voting.
