FISA Amendments Act

The FISA Amendments Act is a U.S. law that allows government surveillance of foreign individuals outside the United States without needing a warrant. It originally aimed to enhance national security and streamline intelligence collection. While it helps in monitoring threats, it also raises concerns about potential overreach and the privacy of U.S. citizens, as communications may be intercepted inadvertently. The Act is part of the broader Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which governs how intelligence agencies conduct surveillance on foreign and domestic entities for national security purposes.
