Does it seem like the FBI largely goes unregulated? Since the nineties it seems to have recessed into the dark, and operated without much oversight.

Three letter agencies doing whatever evil the feel like isn't really new.

MKUltra turned out to be real, after all.

A quick thought on regulation:

1. It will generate huge bureaucracy that will most likely be a huge overhead both on money and time.

2. The bureaucracy still have no idea what’s going on.

Is status quo desirable? What would be desirable, and what would be necessary to get there?

The rules change all the time and are subject to layers of oversight. See https://icontherecord.tumblr.com/

- FISA court (judicial)

- House / Senate intel committee (legislative)

- IC Inspector General (executive, they police the agency itself)
