6. Exceptions:

Sections 2-5 shall not apply if:

- An Appropriate Warrant under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution exists for a specific felony criminal investigation, or
- The Robot Spy's operations are limited to a simple search for a known cybersecurity threat with no modification to or retention of information found except for the deletion of software known to be malicious and the retention of foreign intelligence information, and such an operation is reported to the President, or
- The Robot Spy is being operated by a federal employee or agent (NOT a Contractor) who has a reasonable belief that a bona fide emergency exists involving an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm; and in order to prevent or mitigate the threat, action must be conducted before a warrant can be obtained. Such action must be narrowly tailored to fit the emergency and achieve it through the least intrusive means. A warrant must still be obtained when possible to do so, and a description of all action taken is to be provided to the President, the Vice President, the Attorney General, and the President Pro Tempore and their deputies in a timely fashion.

To qualify under any of the above exceptions, the Robot Spy may not be purchased or otherwise obtained until such a time that a reasonable person would believe one of the above exceptions exists or will imminently exist, and shall be destroyed once such a matter has concluded.

Based on the feedback, I withdraw the earlier amendment and replace it as follows. I do believe it is important that our agencies have all the tools needed to expeditiously respond to certain situations.
