    Let’s say they did stop an event, they have no reason to actually publicise it. Worst case, they publicise a technique, best case, no one believes them anyway.

    Youre asking them to prove a negative.

      They would 100% charge people with criminal conspiracy to commit terrorism if they had the evidence. There are plenty of those charges too, just from actual police. They fucking just charged antifa protestors with it. Our government is just fucking stupid, ugh.

        Parallel construction means they don’t need to use the original evidence. Your administration is stupid, but not everyone doing the work is.

        To be clear, I’m not pro-dragnet-survelliance, it has massive downsides, I’m just pointing out that any upside (if it exists at all) is entirely hidden from everyone else.

      They didn’t, there is no say. Why would they say a technique?? They could just say they actually stopped somebody without saying how, buuuuuuut they didn’t stop anybody anyway.
