lastly i just want to ask you because of course the f.b.i. general counsel said that these are just tweak this is just fine tuning in any major changes and so we don't need to ask anybody for permission only change these guidelines as long as they call in you know with the broader guidelines given by the attorney general this must be really really really broad guidelines that this is the case you know what i mean there's an incredible shell game that's played here every time the f.b.i. goes before congress to ask for a new legal authority new surveillance powers they always stress that we have these incredibly powerful internal guidelines you don't have to worry about giving us broad powers because these guidelines will make sure that there are checks and balances and no one is able to use the power use the enormous amount of information that we've collected and it's available in you know all these digital aggregators that the government contracts with for improper reasons and then when it comes time to revise the guidelines well look it's just our i

to find national security threats before they become a problem now it turns out according to f.b.i. general counsel bernie those radically loose rules are now too cumbersome now the idea that they have to open an assessment without any kind of factual basis to make a record in a database in some cases maybe ask a supervisor this is too much and this actually huge problem when you consider the track record of the f.b.i. as revealed by a series of inspector general investigations that found that again and again surveillance powers were misused when there wasn't any kind of paper trail when people didn't have to worry that their misuse of authority was going to be uncovered and that indeed when they tried to institute supervisors tried to institute record keeping the agent said no no it's too cumbersome they said the same thing it's too cumbersome we don't want to do all this paperwork turned out to be that they i think suspected they were misusing the law that they were circumventing the checks that were put in place to limit that authority and so now the inspector general told told us we can

not of your go to the f.b.i. general counsel valerie approach me she said it was too cumbersome to require it and so open formal inquiries before running quick checks those pesky procedures who need someone they're just there to protect your rights anyways all right so moving on to lie detector tests as they said traditionally these would require an actual preliminary basis for a case with suspected wrongdoing but none of the will or now lie detector test will be administered to potential informants as well all right trash searches you know when they go through your garbage looking for incriminating evidence things to blackmail you with who knows same rules as lie detector tests now the f.b.i. doesn't need you to be suspected of anything anymore they can just start digging through your trash if they decide you might make a good informant you know this is see if there's anything good they can try to blackmail you with. now you have to shred your trash to protect yourself from the f.b.i. all right then there's the infamous

f.b.i. director similar to the way law requires removal of an inspector general? >> i really have not thought about that, senator. >> ok. the f.b.i.'s intelligence analyst association supports the president's request to extend your term. the f.b.i. agents association appears to me to be a little less enthusiastic. if you are extended, how would you intend to bridge a gap if you might not agree there is a gap, but i guess that's the basis of my question, how would you intend to bridge the gap and manage the agents who believe you are creating a double standard by extending your tenure while you limit theirs to your up and out policy? >> i do believe that there's -- i understand the concern on certain agents' part. i do think it's a different issue. the issue of having a maximum time for service as a supervisor in the bureau was a part of a plan to develop leadership. after looking at how you develop leaders in the military, how you develop leaders in corporate america, and how you given incentives and push persons. the best leaders in the organization to the top. we

in response, our state attorney general and f.b.i. have launched a criminal investigation into this data breach. unfortunately, these kind of breaches are happening more fectly, and they cost businesses tens of billions of dollars actually. the federal trade commission estimates nine million individuals in the united states have their identity stolen every year. this is equivalent of approximately 17 identities stolen every minute. that means that during the course of this hearing, the followup might take five minutes, 85 i.d.'s across this country will have been stolen. in response to the texas data breach, the comptroller of public account launched a website called texas safeguard, which was created as a tool for texans to receive up-to-date information about the breach, along with recommended security steps to take. they actually put a toll-free number up for folks to call, and the comptroller is offering credited monitoring at no charge. there's also a frequently asked questions page which outlines six steps people can take to pro

f.b.i. in for guard handbook and generally everywhere else too so what we have got to learn how detrimental this act is let's also point out to you the three classifications for hackers you've got the white house there are groups dedicated to hacking sites to inform the sites about any flaws or loopholes in their systems and there's the black hats those are the malicious hackers and finally they are the gray had sued don't really find the category when it comes to the intent of their hacking capabilities and i think that's where the group will security currently lays oh they're so young they've proven that they can take on the best of the best and they want to make themselves known to everyone including the f.b.i. so i personally like the extended offered i'm very curious about your motives what drives organization so if you'd like to have your voice heard you're welcome to share your message here on the alone or show. now it's a growing trend travelers having their laptops and other electronic devices searched and seized all crossing the border back in the united states the constitution pr

f.b.i. how to talk to people that they generally disdain and can handle kind of what they stand for and learn how to deal with that i think that's kind of perfect seriously so crazy almost makes sense i mean the idea is let's bring in absolute nut bags the nuttiest of the but in a way to teach people like there's a difference between someone who is stone crazy and someone who is stone crazy and a threat to someone that actually has a clue violent people and how to use it for for the f.b.i. and all law enforcement out of the kind that they do to them and you know they said they got manipulated but who knows we don't really know ok i don't know if we have time to play this clip let's play it really quick. so you sample the saliva in the cheek of the dog we have to take a sample of the dog doo doo then the lab matches that up with the d.n.a. ok let me give you some explanation there it's the condominium or apartment complex in florida and they have a problem with dog doo doo apparently nobody cleaning it up and claiming it so now they want to mandate d.n.a. testing to match the dog to the do do

f.b.i. director robert mull who are i worked for when there was a won flick in this issue and it was highlighted in "time" magazine issue where he asked that the attorney general not sign off on a particular warrant and offered his resignation. so with honorable people like bob muller running the f.b.i., there should be a level of confidence that there will not be any violations. i know the world's not perfect, but, but we do put our faith and trust in those folks. so we did hear a little bit of a different presentation today from the f.b.i. i can't speak on their behalf. but it was somewhat comfort doing hear what we heard. so, without further ado i now turn it over to the commissioners for their questions. i'll let commissioner sweet handle the human rights commission because the names are jarbled here. commissioner sweet: i thank commissioner chan. it says commissioner -- it's commissioner mavis. >> thank you. i would like to thank everybody including the commissioners from the police commission and my fellow commissioners here at the human rights commission, the police department staff, and everybody involved for this joint hearing. it's been extremely use

military and general petraeus failed to detain any militants justly we find f.b.i. and european intelligence groups and able to just we detain those they've just captured especially brian cleary those are the police's way of easing the worries of governments all over the world making a big show the rest of people in trumping up their importance and then just quietly releasing them when the media spotlight has faded if so i take pleasure in calling them out for it if there's a force you can't fight don't pretend to be going it just for parents is. now more fingers are being pointed at goldman sachs and this time it comes from another big business name and people are distressed bank is now being accused of manipulating the metals markets by coca-cola he says the prices have become artificially high and the london metal exchange is investigating that issue but you could say that it looks like we might be seeing a strong pattern emerging here when it comes to those accusations of market manipulation goldman sachs definitely isn't the only player but their trail makes it

general's department of justice, that some al qaeda prisoners are allowed to have unmonitored conversations with defense attorneys, and that despite repeated requests for available technology that the bureau of prisons and f.b.i. have requested or at least would be available to them, that that technology is not there and they are unable to monitor conversations wean al qaeda prisoners in their recreation times. so mr. downing, do those policies, which are -- they are not f.b.i. policies, they're not bureau of prison policies, but coming from the department of justice, do they degrade our safety here as americans and also for the personnel who work within the prisons? >> well, in terms of this threat, intelligence is absolutely key and we need to create an environment that is hostile to recruitment, to developing this ideology and also to executing plots or planning plots. so i think it does diminish our ability to further understand the planning. >> thank you. the second question, i'd like to direct to mr. dunleavy, thank you for being here, i want to revisit the letter sent to the chairman recently, just in part, it states this, i am a muslim and i feel because america's war, it's spelled a-m-e-r-i-k-a's war
