[Peace] EFF petition against new mass surveillance rules

[Stuart Levy]

Just before leaving office, the Obama administration posts new rules 
allowing many agencies to scan NSA's mass surveillance data.

Analysts "can only search the raw data for information about Americans 
for foreign intelligence and counterinsurgency".   That might sound like 
an improvement (if you're an American, anyway), but: “if analysts 
stumble across evidence that an American has committed *any crime*, they 
will send it to the Justice Department." Even if there had been no 
warrant, no probable cause to search for information about you, mass 
surveillance data being scanned for other people might lead to charges 
against you.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a petition - let the Obama 
Administration know they're doing the wrong thing.
