TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE 01 The Man Who Built FISA — And Watched It Break The FBI lawyer who designed the bureau's FISA safeguards says that after he left in 2006 they were dismantled — and the system ballooned into Section 702. 02 EU Chat Control: The Majority Said No. The Scan Survived. A parliamentary majority voted against message scanning on 9 July — and it survived anyway on a second-reading technicality, now running to 2028. 03 SCOTUS, Flock & the Cameras That Don't Care. The Supreme Court ruled that reconstructing your movements is a 'search' — but 113,000+ license-plate cameras keep rolling, and the fix isn't in a courtroom. 04 Your Face Is a Password You Can't Change.

After he left in 2006, it went passive. The Carter Page applications (17+ errors; a doctored email; a guilty plea) showed the cost. 2008's Amendments Act created Section 702 — blanket categories, no named targets, a queryable database of
