It’s getting to the point you don’t have to have done anything wrong. You simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody, even by a wrong call, and then they can use the system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you have ever made.”<ref>https://youtu.be/9u5ecSR_rag</ref>}}

In April 2017 the NSA eliminated 702 "about" queries completely, for the time being.<ref>https://www.nsa.gov/news-features/press-room/statements/2017-04-28-702-statement.shtml</ref> As Sundance of theconsrtvativetreehouse.com observed, {{Quotebox|"Removing the (17) “about” search option entirely was the only way to stop human beings from using the tool. However, that said, it only takes another presidential election, and a new NSA director, and the system can be reactivated once again...<br>all it takes is one Presidential election and the switch can easily be flipped back toward weaponizing those systems. All it takes is political operative like [[John Brennan]], [[James Clapper]], James Comey and [[Eric Holder]] to reappear and reconstitute the system to allow weaponized political abuse/targeting. Really, and scarily, it is that simple.<br>So long as the current process of data collection remains a part of the intelligence gathering operations within the institutions of government – every vote you make for the office of the President will ultimately be a vote for who you, as an individual, trust to have ownership of your most sensitive information. So long as we accept this level of surveillance gathering, every election decision from now until the end of time is ultimately an election with a consequence that the victor could weaponize that information to enhance [[ideological]] power."<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/07/04/unfortunately-every-investigative-trail-comes-back-to-the-dead-end-of-fisa-abuse/</ref>}}
