The Government Is Spying on America with Drones, Too

47. My question was rhetorical; I can be sarcastic at times.

Of course they overlap to a certain extent, post 911. That does mean however that I have to like the fact, when, imo, the lines have been pushed too far. DHS could have obtained a warrant re Boston, no? And can you point me to the relevant statute wherein its codified that the FBI can not obtain a warrant on a non citizen, ie resident alien?

Edited to add:

The FBI has used secret evidence obtained under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to prosecute at least 27 accused terrorists since 2007, according to a Reuters review of public records.

While the recent spotlight has been on the use of the FISA law by the U.S. National Security Agency for surveillance programs following disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the FBI also makes extensive use of the law for domestic counterterrorism.

Just because it's "legal" doesn't mean I have to like it.
