"The executive branch shall construe subsection 404(c) of title 39, as enacted by subsection 1010(e) of the Act, which provides for opening of an item of a class of mail otherwise sealed against inspection, in a manner consistent, to the maximum extent permissible, with the need to conduct searches in exigent circumstances, such as to protect human life and safety against hazardous materials, and the need for physical searches specifically authorized by law for foreign intelligence collection."

I can appreciate the "exigent circumstances" but would like to see "hazardous materials" a bit more defined. Where is the list? Also, what exactly defines "foriegn intelligence collection"? Are we talking about curbing real terrorists or opening up doors for seed sales, etc....

Good intentions with VERY bad wording.......As written.....thumbs down.:toilet_claw:

By the way, if ya didn't notice this passed the house something like 420-20 and had a unanimous vote in the senate....

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
