Given the quality of discourse can we be sure the data is not used now? Petraeus was taken out by the data. He was floated as a 2016 candidate.

First the FISA court does not have a rubber stamp. The old "Approved" stamp wore out and was replaced with a steel version in mid 2009.
As to the lack of denials. The "DENIED" stamp is on loan to our FOIA office. We stopped asking for it back when we noticed the correlation between denials and losing at golf. Also colleagues who issued denials reported some awkward interview questions and suspected a lower salary was received when reentering the private sector.
