Nice idea but this would never work

>> Someone should be watching what the security services are up to constantly real civilian oversight not the current joke/rubber stamp. Even if it's just to make sure that when it comes to interpreting the law they do it right.

Th trouble is, after about a week on the oversight job, the appointed citizen would have their mind blown by what _really_ goes on. They are called the "secret service" for a reason - you really don't want to know what they get up to.

So what do you do - keep replacing the overseers, until we've all had a go?
