Description
Section seven-oh-two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a tool used by U.S. intel agencies to gather data from foreign targets without individual warrants, is set to expire on April twentieth. This tool, which fuels sixty percent of the presidents daily brief and aids in efforts against terrorism, drug trafficking, and cyber threats, faces opposition from lawmakers who fear it allows warrantless spying on citizens. Despite heavy reliance on this data, U.S. person queries have dropped significantly. The clock is ticking towards a heated debate in Congress over privacy safeguards versus national security tools.
