Do you believe people in other countries do care if they are hacked by NSA, FBI or whatever? In the end they are hacked by the US and most citizens of the US seem to believe that this is ok.

Since when does the US care about the International Court of Justice? "The United States accepts the court's jurisdiction only on a case-by-case basis"

Why is the FBI being given powers that could count as an act of war?

If the FBI needs the ability to invade foreign computers, it should have to seek a court order requesting the military (eg, the NSA) compromise those computers.

This seems to be aimed at VPN & Tor users inside the US.

The proposed amendment addresses a jurisdictional limitation in the current version of Rule 41(b)(1) that prevents a judge from issuing a warrant unless the target is known to be located within her district.

I don't see what difference this would make. U.S. spies & “law” enforcement only work by their own rules anyway (not the rule of law) and they don't give a rodent's backside for the written law of any country, including the U.S. itself.
