They can't be "fixed"!

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

[U.S. Constitution]
Which word(-s) don't they understand?

FBI says problems with letters fixed

WASHINGTON -- The FBI is resisting legislation that would put more restrictions on domestic surveillance of Americans' private records, saying the agency already has tightened its rules to crack down on wrongful use of national security letters.
So-called "National Security Letters" are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

How do you "fix" unlimited, UNCONSTITUTIONAL Executive over-reach?

We are in a nasty Catch-22 here: it seems to be virtually impossible to contest so-called "National Security Letters" in court. The plaintiff first has to establish that he/she has "standing" - that he/she has in fact been the target of an UNCONSTITUTIONAL search by way of a so-called "National Security Letter". ... BUT, the law precludes anyone from knowing if he or she has been so targeted!

This is absurd!

For what it's worth, there's a name for a nation that asserts the unlimited right to spy on its citizens:
Police State!
Stop the madness!!!
