Does the NSA need a warrant to purchase information that’s being legally gathered and sold?

The governments in the US shouldn’t be collecting non-public information without a warrant if acquiring that information directly would require a warrant. Seems like a clear infringement of the 4th amendment.

It feels to me that society has to get people into riding bicycles as an option before even thinking about refining the processes around building bicycles.

This is where my head is at. Although it’s good to see that these things are being assessed anyway.

So the least efficient bicycle is about half that of the average car. I’ll take that.
