9. Yeah, that's what's known in common parlance as "a lie".

Who believes that there actually are safeguards in place or that "probable cause" would remotely resemble what a reasonable individual would consider probable cause? Have our intelligence agencies *ever* not abused information that came into their possession? Is anyone in any oversight position on this that doesn't have a vested interest in keeping it secret and keeping it going?

So it isn't really relevant information.

"We super secret double promise we aren't misusing your info, but you're not allowed to check!" really doesn't add anything useful.
