what scares me about the specific way they worded "in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security" is that it could mean anything, including civilian spies - in other words, anything that is in "furtherance of the national defense and homeland security" and it will override any existing laws against surveillance - this is just another way to get what Bush got so much slack for, listening to people on the phone, except this way, EVERYONE will be working for the government.
