Sweeping Searches Begin Immediately
Moments ago, after a 30-day extension of the Patriot Act was approved by the House, intelligence agencies were already taking steps to notify the public of their intentions.
The National Security Agency, The Federal Bureau of Investigation, The Central Intelligence Agency, The Department of Homeland Security and The White House each issued statements that essentially send the message: "We plan to make the most of this over the next thirty days."
With the Patriot Act being renewed for what appears, at least currently, to be the next thirty days, national law and intelligence organizations said they have a lot to do in a short amount of time.
Speaking for the NSA, East South Regional Director Jim McJim said, "frankly, we don't care if it's thirty days or six months. We've got a lot of spying to do. We are asking people that, if upon returning home your belongings look a bit askew, forgive us, we'll try to leave things the way we find them." McJim added it is unnecessary to call your local law authorities should you find yourself having been subject to one of these searches. "We are above the law," emphasized McJim, "local authorities won't be able to help you."
McJim, asking for the publics' understanding and cooperation stated, "should that picture of grandma not be exactly where you had it, just cut us some slack. We have a lot of searches to cover in a short period of time."
McJim added, "Further, it would be great if the public would just leave their front door unlocked. Cats, dogs and other pets should be secured in a kennel or locked room. Milk and cookies are also nice."
