As Congress debates solutions to protect our privacy and civil liberties, the MITRE report could provide important information about how these cameras and other surveillance programs are already impacting Americans’ rights.
This throws doubt upon Treasury’s interpretation of many provisions of the Code, creates a great deal of uncertainty in the administration of our tax laws, and could balloon the deficit.
