Put 1200 men into a battalion and then 20k men into a division, and you don't think you won't have a handful of bad apples? You don't think one or two or ten will become criminals in the next year, or that one or two of them wouldn't sell out their country if offered enough cash?
so our snooping program is so massive we can't oversee it and that's just the way it is.

even i can see ways to beef up the oversight. have better hiring practices, don't have a fisa secret court that rubber stamps warrants. create secure perimeters that trip alarms with secret documents.

it's on record many places about how out of control the intel industry is since the ramp up due to 9/11 so i am not sure what you are suggesting here, everybody knows the system grew exponentially and the consequential issues arising from that growth.
