Adding -- exact parallel with 215/SPCMA and FISA might apply here: it might be in same federated query but access controlled by training.

That would make more sense than commingling, as it's just not in their nature to accept externally imposed rules where not necessary

Maybe wrong but I thnk sharing guidelines prohibit queries by agents working run-of-mill criminal cases frm pinging raw 12333 sigint content

Sure, but even if that's the case, it can be accomplished by tying access to training, as it is everywhere else.

To clarify I think even if Agent X is trained for raw 12333 sigint, if she queries a USP for routine crime case, it can't ping that database

because she has no articulable reason to believe that FI or CI will be obtained by her use of that USP selection term.

But if I'm right, this provision of Liberty Act would seem to supersede that constraint & require that database to be routinely pinged, too.

Not if the credentials to 702 and 12333 are different, as they would be and have been on other known exactly parallel situations.
