“Basically, what the administration is after here is that if a burglar is coming into your home and the police come to investigate, they don't have to report to a judge within 96 hours. The police have to act on these terrorist matters. If they find that a terrorist has infiltrated a computer controlling an electrical grid system, they want to get right on the ball and do something about it. That is what they are trying to do with this provision. There are no fourth amendment rights implicated because you have people who have hacked into a computer that they don't have any right to be in. We want to give law enforcement the power to stop that. This provision upsets that power and basically puts us back where we are when we can't do anything in a modern digital age to stop terrorists from stopping power grids and damaging dams and a whole raft of other things.”
