FBI Director Christopher Wray has urged US lawmakers not to implement a warrant requirement for searches on data collected under FISA Section 702. The controversial amendment will expire in December unless Congress extends it. While Section 702 allows the government to spy on communications of foreigners outside the US, it also collects data on US persons if mentioned or communicated with by foreigners. This information is stored in large databases accessible to the FBI, CIA, and NSA without a warrant. Last week, lawmakers introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act, which would renew Section 702 but impose new limits and warrant requirements. Wray argued against the warrant requirement, stating it would cause delays in the face of emerging threats.
