What Does the F.B.I. Do to Prevent Terrorist Attacks?
The bureau has been criticized for failing to prevent a series of recent attacks, but there are limitations on what it can investigate without justification.I hope it does little.
"None of the people in those cases had broken the law or given a clear indication that they intended to kill. The F.B.I. is not allowed to conduct open-ended investigations without justification. Traveling to Pakistan or Afghanistan, or expressing admiration for Osama bin Laden or the Islamic State, could put someone on the F.B.I.’s radar, but none are illegal. The F.B.I. cannot jail someone without evidence of a crime and must follow extensive guidelines that are intended to protect privacy and civil liberties."
I don't want to live in a police state.
