You would think they would at least "jog" after multiple court cases say they cannot continue to be secretive about the program and use it without warrants.

This assumes that the FBI cares about the Constitution, human rights, civil rights, or common decency. I don't know think that's true for all of their agents.

The field agents are likely the lowest rungs on the totem poles if they are anything like other distributed agencies. Management makes these kinds of calls and morale suffers when the workers and the management disagrees.

I would be curious to see some objective measurements of job satisfaction from the FBI, then compare that to the US Army, NSA and some private organizations with good and bad morale like Google and insurance companies.

I assure you, the field agents absolutely love these toys, much more than management.

I meant "agent" in the general sense of "works for the FBI in any capacity".
