This is Patriot Act stuff. Way before Trump, way before Space Force.
This data collection and the 702 searches have been used for nefarious purposes. There is a 5 space redaction in Michael Horowitzs IG report that is the number of illegal contractor searches leading into and including the Crossfire Hurricane illegal spy campaign and persecution. Meaning at least 10,000 possibly up to 99,999 illegal searches on American citizens.
But as some believe the NSA, or at least a cadre in the NSA, are Patriots. So make of it what you will. The tech though and the capability have been around for 15 years.
