FBI Director: FISA 702 warrant requirement 'de facto ban'
Briefly

FBI director Christopher Wray made yet another impassioned plea to US lawmakers to kill a proposed warrant requirement for so-called "US person queries" of data collected via the Feds' favorite snooping tool, FISA Section 702.
Section 702 allows the Feds to warrantlessly spy on communications belonging to foreigners outside of the United States in the name of preventing crime and terrorists attacks.
Last week a bipartisan group of senators and representatives introduced a massive bill called the Government Surveillance Reform Act that would renew Section 702 for four more years - but with new limits to government surveillance including warrant requirements for surveilling US persons' communications, location and vehicle data, web browsing history, and search records.
