FBI says problems with letters fixedSo-called "National Security Letters" are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

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.
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!!!
