FISA Amendments Act to be debated on monday - Telecom immunity, Warrantless wiretapping, Warrantless searches

This morning, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on the Senate floor that the Senate FISA renewal bill containing immunity for the telecoms would go to the floor on Monday. The move, which many expected, dismayed opponents of telecom immunity.

The bill allows the warrantless wiretapping of anyone "reasonably believed to be located outside the United States", US citizen or not. The bill also allows the Attorney General to authorize physical searches before applying for a warrant, and grants immunity to electronic communication service providers that comply with warrantless spying.

Please sign this petition asking Congress not to pass this bill.

Even if the Senate passes the bill on monday, the House may not pass it for a while.
