Not only that, in what way does an independent agency having zero ties to national security or the IC have any right to hold just about* anything secret? This is asinine!
I think you underestimate just how far we've allowed natsec expansion to taint even the most benign agencies.
As a constitutionalist, the real problem as I have condensed it is that the balance between providing for the common defense has completely overshadowed things like securing the blessings of liberty. Our gov is increasingly leaning authoritarian, and the populace has allowed it.
I wouldn't say I've underestimated anything. That was an honest question; as in: "what mental gymnastics did the FCC do to even think that keeping secrets is allowable?"
