Comment Re:FISA ? What sport is that? (Score 2) 37
It is the 'spy at home as we spy abroad' law passed in the late 70s and was enhanced further in the following decades to allow a nearly complete and unrestricted domestic surveillance package today.
Incidentally, the headline is misleading, it should have said "Congresscritters extend FISA until the end of the month so they have time to extend it for another decade and widen its scope further", which is what will actually happen.
